is going to take a very good team indeed to so much as extend the "Y" Ladies, judging them on the form they are showing at present. Following their win over the Hong Kong Ladies, they completely demoralised St. Andrew's last Saturday to establish themselves as the strong- est combination in the Colony.

St. Andrew's defence gave a great display in the first-half.

Misa. S. Dalziel, left, the "Y" Ladies' inside-right, was in fine for last Saturday against St. An- drew's Ladies, but will not be available for the coming Interport. Mrs. G. A. White, centre, who played for Hong Kong in the first Interport match, will be resuming hockey shortly. Mias A. Fowler, right, has not yet been seen at her best, although she is more or less a certainty for the Colony tex

Assisted by their two inside-forwards, Miss Marie da Roza and LADIES' SECOND HOCKEY

Miss Stella West, the halves and backs worked like Trojans to hold the speedy “Y” forward line. Mrs. Rose was a trifle dis- appointing in goal; and one felt that if she had left her charge a little earlier, when Sybil Dalziel made her break-through five minutes after the commencement of the game, the teams would have crossed over on level terms.

Another noticeable error in tactics was the inclination of Miss Louise Jorge, at right-back, to lie too far back. If she had moved forward a little more she would have placed both Miss Olive Dalziel and Miss Marjorie Westcott off-side on numerous occasions — a forward line is apt to become disorganised when they are continually being pulled up for infringements of this description.

Miss M. Westcott, above, left the Colony on Tuesday last for a short holiday trip to Shanghai, but will be back before Sunday veck

WALES FIELDING A VERY WEAK TEAM BEST MEN WITHHELD FOR SUNDAY LEAGUE GAME LOSS IN GATE WILL RESULT (By "ROVER”)

A SOCCER sensation of the first magnitude

had been caused by the Welsh selectors hold- ing back their best players for the First Division League match on Sunday, when the Fusiliers meet South China "B", instead of allowing them to play for Wales against Portugal in the "Sunday Herald" International Charity Cup competition, which will probably result in a loss of gate.

The team which has been selected only includes one First Division plaver, Rowlands, and the reason behind the action în holding back the best players is only too obvious.

In holding back the best Welsh players and fielding a team comprised, mostly of Second and Third Division players, those responsible have ruined a match that would have proved most in- teresting had both teams been at full strength.

The Welsh selectors may ad- vance the view that the Eng- land-China game is likely to be the bigger draw of the two games, and therefore it seems a waste of time fielding their best team, with the possibility that several of their players

may be injured, thereby ruining SERVICE CORPS

DEFEATED BY

the Fusiliers chances against South China “B” on Sunday. But one has only to giànce over the China team to see what.a. poor eleven they are fielding in comparison to some of their "representative" tearns. But China have a genuine excuse as the majority of their "star” turns are members of the Can- ton Militia and Police, and are unable to obtain the necessary leave.
