Hongkong Ladies and St. An- drew's Ladies can yet raise a full team, and both may be streng÷ thened by recrisiting the remnants of the "Y" Ladies and C.B-A, teams of last season. The Argonauts, Brawn Cup Champions, will be strong enough to provide respec- table opposition and Recreio Ladies are good for a game at any time.

A quadrangular tournament between the four teams would certainly be followed with some interest. A Brawn Cup League is highly improbable, though a promised Argonauts' funfor team, a Recreio junior eleven and the D.G.S. are in the field.
