The visit of the Malayan team and their tactics seem to have had good effect. Yesterday the ball was pass- ed from forward to threes and back again in fine style.
Waite played well at stand-off for the Army team, although he found Day a hard man to hold. In attack, he started most movements. Pleton,

"Y" Ladies They, however, suffered defeat at the hands of the Hongkong Ladies by 1-0, but gave a very good account of themselves. Play in the first half was very keen and open, with Re- crelo attacking most of the time through their clever right wing, Miss B. Remedios. It was in the second Ladies took the period that H.K. lead and hung on to it until the end.

Army took the lead after six minutes' play and did well to share the exchanges later. In a game in which almost everyons pulled his weight, it would be invidious to single out indivi duals, but the Army full backs, Carter and Datta, Ram, were in fine form, while Sha Wali on the right wing gave a fine exhibition of speed and first-timo centr- ing.
Why their names were not sub- mitted for an Interport trial by the Army Selector leaves me bewildered. The display by these three brilliant players must have been an eye- to the other two selectors opener who controlled the game. It is too late any way; but I am certain: they would have given a good account of themselves if they had been given a chance.
One very important point the Selectors should bear in mind is that forwards it takes brilliant Inside with good stickwork to penetrate the Macao defence.
