Mainland:-Boyes: Bowen and C Pite: G. White, Bliss and North; Eastrum, V. White, Knox, Ridley, and Alves.

A crowd of very disappoint- ing proportions attended this annual New Year's Day match at the Club ground played on behalf of the Children's Play- ground Fund, but those who did turn up were rewarded with an entertaining exhibi- tion.

The Island won on their merits, the forwards being more on the target. Mainland attack had opportunities but did not take advantage of them:

With Lawton and Sandford taken to hospital yesterday morning there were changes in the Mainland team. Incidentally these two players will not

ELLIOTT'S DASH

Elliatt led the Island forward lino with dash and scored two very nice goals. With a shade of luck he would have had one or two more. On the whole the Island attack was too elever and fast for the Mainland rearguard and Boyes had a tremendous amount of work to accomplish which he did in good style.

Baxter, undeniably one of the best right wingers in the Colony was at his best and Pile and North rarely saw the way he went. What a pity Baxter is attached to the Navy and is therefore ineligible for the Inter- port!

SELECTORS SHOULD NOT HAVE 'PLAYED IN FINAL TRIAL

Last Sunday's, final Inter-. port trial provided a game of special interest, and no little satisfaction. Practically every other individual display was overshadowed by the exhibi- tion of Mrs. Margaret White at centre-forward for the Pro- bables.

GRAND BATTING BY OWEN-HUGHES

IN TRIANGULAR TOURNAMENT

(By R. Abbit)

It was unfortunate yesterday that the change of temperature brought down fog for the Triangular Tournamocht match between, the Club and the Navy and there was a bit of a drizzle which prevented play in the morning. It was decided to talre lunch at 12.30 p.m. and it was possible to begin play at 1.15 pm. Hayward won the toss and put the Navy in. Unfortunately with so many ships away the Navy only had out a shadow of their full strength and they failed very badly against A.C.
