There are sever players in each of the teams who have not previously appeared un the Rugby Football grounds of Hong Kong, who will increase the pace of the game and will add to the interest of the fixtures to be played this season. It is believed that the Navy will be fielding a strong side throughout the season and the Army are certain to make 'as good a showing as last year, as the Royal Welch, Fusiliers, who can themselves field a good · ·bat- talion side, are still on the station and will again, provide the nucleus of a promising side.

There is positively no deception about this, and the comparison, is encouraging. Sutcliffe, great bats- man that he is, cannot be harder to replace than was Hobbs; and only Larwood remains to be ade- quately compensated. People who are already picking both Voće and Farnes for the Tests forget that Copson was the first selection, if they tuned up his record for the pay, tree seasons remembering that until lately his health was suspect-they would be impressed.

COPSON'S BOWLING Copson will not be able, as Lar- wood did, "to bowl so fast that any length was a good length," and he will find that his short ball is wel- comed by Bradman, McCabe, and Co. (who, if they know any Latin at all, would murmur "sare atque vale" at the sight of it). But he can swing the ball in to the bata-

man very late, and he can "cut" it as Kennedy used to, so that it turne appreciably froin: leg and lifts more than stump-high; he is faster, too, than Kennedy ever was. Our whole problem is to get the Australians out, so the potentialf- tles of our bowlers must be conal-" dered first. As G. O. Allen is a fast bowler himself there will be the no mawkish pity shown to Australians, and their batsmen will occasionally have to defend more than their three stumps agalust certainly our attack They will tace Voce again with mixed feel- Ings, even if there is no Larwood at the other end.

Actually, I have seen Voce bowl them out without Larwood's help when Nottinghamshire played Aus- tralla. In 1934. He took eight wickets for 66 runs in 23 overs.
