THE FORWARDS.

For centre forward, Higgins (Lincolns) is selected, in pre- ferance to Langmead (It. Navy). It would appear the selectors have taken the Lincoln centre instead f the more polished Navy man, because of his bustling (but per- fectly fair) methods; well, Hig King is the type of centre lo upset tho Chinoso dofonders, and in ad- altion he knows the play of Lieut.

The Navy team for the Lai Wah Cup was nounced this morning con- sequent to the notes which appear below. Several changes from last week's

eloven have been made. West and Ward at back have both been passed over, and Purkins as expected is introduced to the half back line, with McQuire going to the pivotal position.

The forward line remains - changed. Here is the team.
