Potential Interporters Tried Out

A mere handful of hockey enthu sinats watched the Interport - izinl yesterday at the Hongkong Hockey | Club ground where two teams of potential interporters were drawn up.

The game started with the Whites attacking furiously, lend by Lt Pritam Nath, but, before the ball could rench the backs, Neave with a splendid stroke cléured it to Capt. Mackenzie-Kennedy, who at once relayed it to Gopal' Ram. A well placed shot was saved by Ramzan, who kicked it to mid-neid.

A. E. P. Guest, at left-back, play- ed a strenuous game, and was res- ponsible for breaking up many dan- gerous moves on the Colours' right- wing. Whiles' defence was solid, though they were not given much opportunity to assist their forwards. Taken in their respective positions, Dobson appeared the more confident of the two goal-keepers, although ho was powerless to prevent the Colours goal.

Wetton, playing for the Whites at left-half, was very hard-working, and positioning himself well to frustrate mony dangerous move- ments, and was the best "feeder-half"

display.
