In view of the phenomenal success of the Kowloon Dock R.C. last season, when they were undefeat ed, the greatest interest to-morrow will be centred in their match against the Police R.C. The latter will necessarily make changes in the twelve who played for them a year ago, and they are fortunate in having the two Clarkes back again from Home leave. The Dock will depend for the

The Bowling Green Club will be at home to the Craigengower C.C., whom they defeated last year by no fewer than, 32 shots. On paper, there should not be so much be tween the two Clubs to-morrow. The ground team have one very strong rink, one very good one, and a third something like the prover bial curate's egg-good in parts. The visitors have likewise one really strong team, but it remains to be seen whether they are expected to carry the other two rings on their shoulders.
