The game at Sookuapou between the services should be witnessed by a large crowd and a fast game should end in a draw. The sailors are stronger in defence than in attack and although the soldiers will have most of the play they will find that Burke, Thompson and Hardy will require a lot of beating,-

..

The match between the two Navy teams on the "A" ground should be very fast and even The Tamar are playing a good "gathe just now and have a good set of goal-getting forwards. Hill and Abbott on the wings are speedy and can swing the ball well in. They have a good mid die line who can smash up any combina

tion.

The Titania on their showing last Saturday are not the team of last year. They lack combination, an essential for winning matcher.

The best game in the league should be sen on the ground between the Curlers and the Club. Kuhr played hard game in the half-back line last week and kept his forwards well supplied. The

forwards are still wanting combination The defence is sound, and up to date have only been beaten once in three matches played.

Ji

The game on the Kowloon ground

should be a win for the Chinese,
