PREPARING FOR THE HOCKEY INTERPORTS

TRIALS SHORTLY TO TAKE PLACE

SUGGESTED SELECTION OF 4 TEAMS FOR PRELIMINARIES

DIFFICULT TASK OF COMMITTEE WILL BE TO ELIMINATE

(By "Bully-Of")

Arrangements are now well under way in pre- paration for the first Interport Hockey Tournament to be held in Hongkong; the only snag so far is that no definite replies have been received from Macao and Canton, against whom Hongkong will compete! ! However, there is every reason to believe that the at matches will take place in Hongkong on or about Chinese New Year.

An average of four players per Club have been nominated and they will be tweeded out to-morrow when the committee meets at the K.C.C, for the purpose of selecting two teams for a trial on Friday on the Club ground at King's Park.

The first Southern hockey trial took place on the Polytechnle Ground Chlewick recently, and this picture shows the game between the Whites
