The Interport Probables
Good Although Rather Provocative
Selection of Team
(By "Veritus")
In view of the teams chosen for the various trials, the Probable Interport XI to visit Shanghai, selected by the committee to meet the Rest of the Colony on Friday contains very few surprises.
Nevertheless it seems that the selectors were in a somewhat provocative frame of mind when they made their decision. For a trial match they put Suen Kam-shun at inside left and Wong Mec-ihun at inside right to all intents and purposes with the idea discovering whother they were suitable for those positions, and turn round an hour later and give them entirely new places in the Probable team.

two players short, but a faw minutes of play saw the teams, completed. The Club pack very quickly got into their stride and displayed their all-round superi- ority, particularly in the tight Borums, where McElney easily mastered the opposition hooker. The Club too held a big advantage on the line-outs where Munro's great height continually robbed Kowloon of any chances of secur ing the ball.
The early stages of the game HAW the ball repeatedly heeled, but it was noticeable that passing
