THIS AFTERNOON'S RUGGER

Two More Practice Games Today Before The Pentangular

By "PAK LO"

This afternoon there are two main rugger games, both of which will take place at Sookunpoo. Originally the only game scheduled was one between the Club and Wayfoong (the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank) but the Army decided that they would be the bottor for another ist run out before the Pentangular, and have challenged the Police, who are also glad of another practice, to see if they can keep the score down to a more respectable size this time.

The first game will start at 3.15 p.m., and will be between the Club and Wayfoong. As quite a few Club players are also members of the Bank, this in effect becomes a form of Club trial. This is not the annual match between these two teams which will, as usual, be held at the end of the rugger season.

ARMY V. POLICE

The airmen will have to show some acrobatics this afternoon if they hope to make circles round the King's Park's men. Both sides are used to big grounds and because Recreio have the advantage of the Army and the Police, which playing on their home ground I fancy they will put it over the RAF. Both are good fielding sides but Recreio appear to be better balanced in all departments. RAF are still unbeaten in this Division.
