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-Off"),

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 matches will take place in Hongkong on or about Chinese New Year.

At a recent meeting of the. H.K.II.C. a sub-committee was formed to make the necessary ar- rangements and all Clubs have been invited to send in nominated players they think eligible for in- clusion in the interport side. An average of four players per- Club have been nominated and they will be weeded 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.
