TUI SHOULD DO WELL In view of the fine form shown by Tout Wai-pul, the Chinese Davis Cup player and present Colony hardcourt champlon, in the recent U.S.R.C. tournament, one feels sure that he would be able to uphold Hongkong's prestige, should he find it possible to take part. If his partner and co- winner of the hardcourt doubles, W. C.

FOOTBALL DIRECTORS ASK WOMAN FOR ADVICE

Miss Doris Pugh, of Cradley Heath, is to advise the local Birmingham League football club on team building and team selection.

She has followed the club since her childhood, travelled with the players in their special motor coach to all away matches last season.

Miss Pugh, alim, dark and good-looking is organiser at Cradley Heath for the National Spinators' Pensions Association. Dr. A. F. Doyle, one of Cradley Heath directors, thinks that what Miss Pugh doesn't know about football is not worth knowing. It was his suggestion that the directors should seek her assistance in picking the best men.
