STRANGE OMISSIONS FROM AUSTRALIANS SELECT XV

HOCKEY TRIAL

TEAMS

SELECTORS OVERLOOK NOTABLE PLAYERS

(By "Bully-Off**)

The selectors have nominated teams for two hockey trials in preparation for the forthcoming Interport with Macao, and they appear below. It has now been re- vealed that Shameen are unable to send a team down for the series, and the Interport will be confined to matches between Hongkong and Macao. The trials teams chosen are: Whites-Pte. Hollingsworth (Lin- colns); Sub. Taj Mohomied (Punjabis), P. Singh (Radio); W. A. Reed (H.K. Club), H. J. D. Lowe (H.K. Club). Capt., Lieut. Revenhill (R.A.); S. Fowler (Y.M.C.A.), Lout. Garthwaite (R.A.), G. P. Lammert (Y.M.C.A.), Wass (Police). S. C. Archer (H.K.
