Although a full Ladies' programme will be played tomorrow, an uninteresting series is expected as the leading teams, without excep don, have been drawn against the lowliest squads in the League standings.

Only three Men's games have been arranged and these, with the possible exception of the Trojans-Filipino Club clash, also pro- mise to be devold of any entertainment value.
