FROST INJURES HIS WRIST

(By "Referee")

FAIRLY good bunching by the forwards and

accurate passing by the halves and three- quarters featured the second rugby trial game held by the Hong Kong Football Club yesterday at Happy Valley, the afternoon's rain producing a very slippery surface.

Several newcomers were seen out, among whom were Smal- ley, who arrived late in the first half. A well-built player, he moves along at a fast pace and knows how to use his feet. He was always to the fore in the forward rushes.

Humphreys, the Shanghai Rugby Interporter, was another who impressed. A wing forward with plenty of speed. he is soon off the mark and has a fairly useful defence.

There were several other
