A very fast, but robust game of water-polo was witnessed in the V.R.C. pool yesterday, when a V.R.C. team beat an Army “A” team by four clear goals after leading at the e interval by goals to nil. The outstanding feature of the encounter was the splendid home defence, in which Kerr and Delgado were outstand- ing, while Marcal was thorn in the Army attack.

The Tientsin Amateur Swim- ming Association had intimated that they are unable to send a team owing to unforseen circum- stances, while no reply has yet been "received from the Kobe Swimming Club, so it very mach looks as if the Interport will be between Shanghai and Hong Kong. A- meeting of local Club represen- tatives has been called for next Monday at the V.R.C. at 6 pm..
