FOR TO-DAY
The following is the altered football programme for the week-end.
(By “UBIQUE") Local competitive football con- cludes this week-end, when the few remaining League games and the Final of the Senior Shield, will be played, and while the latter event may not draw a crowd usually expected at such a game, owing to the fact that two South China teams will be fea-Royal Scots tured in the final, Sookunpoo will be filled to capacity to-day when the Royal Scots meet South China “B”.

JUNIOR TRIAL
The Second Junior Interport trial will be played at Causeway Bay, and i will be interesting to see how Partab. Singh performs on the left-wing.
I see Smith has been given a trial while Lawlor cames into the side, in place of Yan Wah Hing.
The final of the Senior Shield takes place to-morrow on the Club ground, and as both teams are out for a win a great game is anticipated.

Although Mixed Doubles play as it is known in the local League, never reached a very high standard and for the most part tactics were more in the nature of garden party tennis when the man covers most of the forecourt, play was never- theless fairly interesting.

It was a handicap event and as it worked out, Owen Hughes and Miss Smith owed 5.6.
That the committee responsible, knew their job there is little doubt it was only this apparently small handicap that gave Mr. and Mrs. Storey their victory.
BETTER LADY
Mrs. Storey was undoubtedly the better of the two ladies. I should say rather, she was the better match

I formed the impression that the losers would have given an even better display had Owen Hughes shown more faith in his partner. His continual poaching, while it undoubtedly met with some success, did not merit the points lost through the
resultant bad positioning.
