MY SELECTIONS FOR SENIOR AND JUNIOR TEAMS

AN unnecessary waste of time has been indulged in by the Hong Kong Ladies Hockey Associa- tion in arranging trials with a view to selecting "Rest" teams to meet the champions of the Caer

TRIAL NEXT SUNDAY

(By “STICKS”)

These two teams could quite easily have been selected on play- ers' performances throughout the current season. It did not take me long to select what I thought would be the probable com- position of the two teams for next Saturday's encounters.

These are as follows:

I understand that the selectors are not satisfied with last Sunday's effort, and that, weather permitting, a final trial will be held next Sunday morning, on the Club ground, commencing at 11 am. The Interport Selection Committee are meeting to-morrow evening to select the trial teams.

There is a possibility that Lieut. Pritam Nath, of the Rajputana · Rifles, will not be available against Macao as he has been transferred to India and will in all probability leave the Colony by the Transport Dilwara. Should

A. E. P. Guest (Ba dio), E. Henderson (Y.MC.A.) and K. Hussain KLLC). I understand that Miss J.
