TRIANGULAR TOURNAMENT PROPOSAL

Suggested Substitute NAVY XV BEAT CLUB “A”

For The Navy: Sappers Gain Another Victory

WITH REFERENCE to the Triangular Tour- nament, I suggested a few weeks ago, that a team from the H.K.H.A. might be substituted for the Royal Navy who are not participating this season. A further proposal has reached me from a Military source, suggesting that the Army be permitted to field two separate teams-one of Indians and the other of Europeans-instead of a mixed team as at present.

This, I think, is a brilliant suggestion, as the combined Army would be too strong a team for the Hongkong Club or the Association, and I would draw the attention of the Triangular Tournament Committee to consider the matter.

The games, if staged, shouldį. prove most interesting.

IN their League encounter at King's Park last Saturday, St. Andrew's could only draw 1-1 with the Hongkong Ladies. The failure of both sides to score more goals was due to the in- ability of the players to control the ball on a very bumpy sur- face,

Decided Improvement In Play

(By "Fly-half")

YESTERDAY evening at the Club ground, a Navy team defeated Club "A" by cleven points (a goal and two tries) to nine (three tries) in a game in which the back divisions were given the ball and made good use lof it. It was મ decided improvement on the scrappy "A" matches of late.

Navy fielded a strong side which included a few of the Ist XV players, and credit is due to the Club players who stuck to their task manfully.
