To Win With A Bolstered-Up XI

It is definitely stated that the Hongkong University are fielding past students in the team to oppose Waseda University on Saturday. I can't help feeling this is a wrong policy.

Before the Waseda team left they wrote to the Hongkong Hockey Association suggesting that seven games be arranged. special mention being made of the Hongkong University. At a council meeting of the Asso- ciation it was proposed that if The local University was unable to field a team, a second Civilian XI was to take over the fixture. No mention of the University including past students in a team was mentioned.

On the other hand, the Argonautas, present winners of the Inter-Section Tournament, have been forbidden to include members of their own club (who have represented the Recreio in.

The whole team turned out in leather studded boots but they were laler informed by an officlat of the

My Impression of this first ganic was that if the Services had made full use of their opportunities they would have won 8-2. Donald and Wraith were somewhat oft form, and shot poorly. Apart from a part. 15
