The Annual General Meeting of the Amateur Sports Federation and Olympic Committee last week produced an excellent survey of the Colony's sporting achievements during the last twelve months.

The influence of this august body is far reaching both within the bounds, of the community and internationally and it deserves the loyal support of every organisation which is affiliated to

FOUR RUGBY GAMES THIS AFTERNOON

Club "A" Versus RAF The Most Exciting

Although the fixture list only shows three rugby games this afternoon, in actual fact another has

been added to make the total up to four.

Two of these games will be played on the Island and the other two on the Mainland. Of the island twain, the match between Club "A" and RAF Hongkong at Happy Valley at 4.30 p.m. should be the most exciting for RAF Hongkong, as will be remembered, last week beat the Club "B" by 16 points to nine and now hope to complete the double by beating the “A” XV.
