(By "Veritas").

Several matters of prime im- portance wore discussed at last night's meeting of the Interport Selection, Committee.

"Sonny" Bliss has informed the Committee that he will be unable to gel away to Shanghai for the Interport, and he has therefore been withdrawn from the trial games arranged for next week.

MCCLURG IN TEAM

LAI WAH CUP FINAL

(By "Veritas"),

The Navy have made one change from the team origin. ally selected to play against the Civilians in the Lai Wah Cup this afternoon. Mitchell at, left, half has been dropped for McClurg, who last played against Kowloon.

Mitchell did not give a very good display against the Army on Thursday, which is perhaps | the reason why McClurg has! been preferred. I imagine the Įchangę will strengthen the Navy.

I was officially informed early this morning that the Civilians will turn out as advertised.

Happily the weather has im- proved since Thursday and we can look forward to a dry ground:

and a fast, keen game.

With the Navy at full strength they will start slight favourites, but it is unlikely that the result will hold more than the odd goal either way. If true to form the Civilians would appear to possess |n slightly stronger defence, but the Navy can be expected to enjoy slight pull in the half back line and possibly in their attack.
