Less than a fortnight ago the Indiana were the only team in the three divisions to have a 100 per cent record, but since then have lost twice, 1-4 to Recreio "White" and 0-5 to Kowloon Docks,

They

themselves Tedremed slightly during the past week by defeating the Police Recreation Club 5-0, after experimenting | with their rinks.
