SEASON

OPENS TO-DAY

U.S.R.C. AND THE MIXED DOUBLES

K.C.C. OUT OF LUCK FOR THEIR FIRST MATCH

(By_"Veritas") -

Quality, not quantity, has been the characteristic feature of the mixed doubles tennis league since its in- ception ten years ago, and this promises to be even more pronounced during the current season which opens this afternoon with a programme of two matches.

Though there will be compara-į tively few newcomers to the langue, it cannot be gainsaid that among the lady players atj teast there, is every indication of considerable improvement in the standard of play.

Miss Rose Perry and Mrs, Chin Chun-eilu of the Chinese Recreation Clubs, several member of the Club do. Recres, as well as Miss Alfsou Mackenzle and Mrs. McCaw of Kow- toon Cricket Club have all made de-i cided progress during the past twelve months, this presuming a proportion- ately improved type of play in thei lengue, with intensified competition: for the Dunlop Shield, now held by: C.R.C.

Chief responsibility will fall on E. C. Fincher and Miss Olive Dalziel, and whether they enjoy a successful season may largely depend on whether Misy Dalziel can become net-conselous. She has a penchant for hugging the baseline where Fincher is a glutton for the forecourt. Unfortunately the effect ton often is to leave a wide 54 down the middle of the court and skill can use to a pronouncel ad- which opponents of any experience vantage.

Council's Attitude To Be Sought To-day

SCHEME WILL BE PUT FORWARD

(By "Varitan")

The allocation of receipts from the various charity football competitions is, according to the agenda, the most important matter to come before the Council of the H.K.F.A. this evening, but I understand that the more provocative subjects of reconstituting the league and the rehabilitation of the schoolboys' league are to be intro- duced.

The sponsers' of the scheme) which was outlined in the Tele-' graph a week ago, are anxious to secure an expression of opinion among members of the Council with the ultimate aim of putting it into motion form for the annual meeting should sufficient support be indicatedi.

It is therefore unlikely that they will press for a voto on the question this evening. It will be introduced to test the feelings of the meeting.
