The Interport Selection Com- mittee must have felt like patting themselves on the back for the inspiration which led to their making yesterday's Governor's Cup match an official Interport trial. It was a magnificent game, and the displays by the various players must have gladdened the hearts of those responsible for the task of choosing the Colony's team to play Shanghai next month.

The match fed one to the confident conclusion that the following are dead

certainties for the Interport side.
