South China were largely on the defensive, and good displays were given by Au Wing tin goal and Chan Kwong-yul.

England and Germany

I learn from Mr. Arthur Elvin. the managing director at Wembley Stadium, that arrangements have been made to stage an official Eng- land V. Germany match at the Empire Fool carly next season, This will be the biggest and most representative test ever decided be- tween two nations in any part of the globe. The events will comprise straight and team swimming, spring- board and high platform diving, and conclude with a water polo match. The meeting will be held over two sessions, and Germany will be repre- sented by 28 competitors, number of contestants for any inter- national fixture.
