The Captain him- self is usually in this position, and t does not help. However, this is the task with which he is faced.

To begin with, it is by no means a rule that "once a Blue, always a Blua" Every year, each old Blue must play himself into the side, and it the rale rather than the ex- ception to find one or two old Blues dropping out each senson. The only consideration, merit excepted, is per haps a falat bias towards playing Freshmen in the team, where reason- ably possible, so as to provide ex- perienced players, as well as Secre- tarles and Captains in the future.

Out of all the dozonK of good cricketers, the Captain can only select ten men besides himself. It is a big job.

MAX BRILKA.

GERMAN BOXER

Arrives In Colony To Secure Fights

yesterday was Max Driiks, a German An interesting arrival in the Colony welterweight boxer, who is anxious to fight anybody in Hongkong between the weights of nine and eleven stones. Thirty-one years of ago, Max Brilla has not been in the game for any great length of time, but since he first entered the ring five years ago, be has had approximately 140 fights and has never been knocked out. He has won a great majority of his bouts and has just arrived from a tour of other cities in the Far East.

The former welterweight champion of Germany was born on a farm near Feldhof, Gipprdorf, near the town of Panerwitz, in Silesia, Germany on March 10, 1903. He first took to medicine, but gave up the idea of darections to become a boxer.

Brilka proudly claims Max Schmel- ing, the former world's champion, as his best pal and also that one of his close relations, Dr. Prohske, was so renowned and clover that he was at one time presented to German Royalty,

From Germany he travelled to Johannesburg, from there he wander ed to Australia, then to Shanghai, Kobe, Tokyo, Yokohama, the Philip pines and then to fudia, from where he has now arrived in Hongkong, In all these places he excelled himself in first class boxing. He has met some well-known exponents and dur ing his tour of the East he fought Ute American boxer, Gunboat Jack, Battling Guillermo and others.

Briika is now staying at the European Y.M.C.A. in Kowloon and is
