Personally I think that it would be a step in the right direc tion for these inter-school league matches would give the boys what is commonly described as "match experience" and it is. getting to be more and more apparent that while it was not so mugh the case in former years, the different clubs in Hong Kong are now looking to the schools as nurseries.

According to the British soldier this trio had guarded the strategic sandbag unit for over a week. On several occasions when a Japanese 100 column, usually numbering marines, advanced on that parti- cular sandbag, the British soldier saw two of the Chinese soldiers hand their tin hats to the third member while they, carrying machine-guns, disappeared from the scene. At this point, the Bri tish soldier confessed, he was "worried" about the lone defender. believing that the Chinese would certainly be outnumbered and kili- ed when the Japanese reached the barricade.

The lone Chinese soldier would wear his own tin hat and place his comrades on each of his hands. Then he would lift the hats just high enough to show above the sandbags. The Japanese, not knowing the exact number behind the sandbags and believing they had been spotted would get on their hands and knees, crawling towards their goal.

SHOULD MASTERS PLAY?

Should masters be allowed to take part in these matches? To my mind I do not think so. There are some schools that have more than one master who plays cricket

while at others no member of the

staff takes part in the games at all. It would, therefore, be un fair if one school played with two masters while the other side is

made up entirely of boys. The masters, should, however, take a very active interest in these games

The resolution on Spain was defeated when it came up for vote at the League Assembly yesterday. Portugal and Albania voted against the resolution while fourteen states, including South Africa, abstained from voting. The resolution was lost owing to the absence of unanimity required by the rules-Reuter...

It will be recalled that a Reuter's message, published on Thursday in Geneva, stated that if the complete withdrawal of non-Spanish combatants in the Spanish: Civil War cannot be ob- tained soon by diplomatic action initiated by certain Powers then members of the League will consider ending the policy of non- intervention, according to a resolution in regard to the Spanish appeal agreed to by the 'Drafting Committee, The resolution which the Assembly was expected to unanimously adopt regretted that the Non-Intervention Committee had falled and recognised that foreign army corps in Spain represented intervention in.
