Four teams only will take part in this afternoon's major rugger activities, for due to the Chinese New Year being upon us the Police who have to go on stand-by duty have had to postpone their match with the Navy until a later date.
The two remaining games will take place at Kai Tak, the first be- tween the Club and Army North at 3.00 p.m., and the second between . Army South and the RAF at 4.15 p.m.
For those who do not wish to cross the harbour the Club Strollers will be playing the 19th Field Regt, on the Racecourse ground at Happy Valley at 3.30 p.m.

Soccer Contracts Should
Insure
Against Injury
Says DON REVIE
Soccer is a great game. It can be a very rewarding game for the fortunate few. But every time a player puts his foot on a football field, he takes risks.
It is those risks, taken in the cut and thrust of the game, which make me feel that in every player's contract there should be a clause safe- guarding him
in case of any - and more important still his dependants tragedy.
Yes, I know that most good clubs do look after their unlucky players, who through illness or injury have to give up the game. And I also know the League and Football Association also holp a great 'deal. But every player would feel happler if it was written into his contract that in the case of injury or death his dependants would not suffer.

NEW! A watch that is
watertight and elegant too...!
No sportsman, and no one whose job or leisure activity brings them into contact with water or steam, should be without a watertight watch. Hitherto, watertightness has been achieved at the expense of elegance, for cases had to be thick and heavy to accomodate the scaling. The case of the new, ultra-thin Cyma-Navystarisimade of special quality steel, and is so designed that slimness is combined with faultless sealing and outstanding strength and precision.
