Now that we know--barring further altora- tions-Who's Who in the four teams, it comes more within one's province to attempt some definite observations regarding the prospects of this afternoon's Lai Wah Cup games.

Neither the Army, Navy, Chinese nor Civilians will line up as expected. In fact in more than one case, popular opinion has been sadly at fault, and some surprising selections have been made.

"UP AGAINST YOUNG PLAYER

WITH INITIATIVE

(By "Veritas").

A new lady tennis champion of Hongkong will be crowned this afternoon, when Mrs. Jamos and Miss R. Hancock meet in the final of the singles championship at the United Services Recreation Club.

More than passing interest will be centred on this match for it brings together on the one hand an experi- enced competitor, who will be competing in her third final, and who has not before won, and a young player, who created the biggest sensation in three years, by eliminating the reigning queen of the local courts, Mrs. Litton.

H.M.S. Pandora suffered an overwhelming defeat yes- terday afternoon, when the Oswald piled on aix goals against them in a friendly football match on the Dock- yard ground.

It was early evident that the Pandora would have to rely on its defence to pull through, but the cleverness of the Oswald attack broke down all opposition, and only Bennett in goal stood between the Pandora and a much heavier defeat.
