Pilgrim's' Hockey Notes

MEN WILL HAVE HOCKEY LEAGUE AS USUAL: LADIES PLAY

Semi-Final Bowls Ties

FRIENDLIES

NOW THAT THE WEATHER has become cooler, hockey has come into its own again in the Colony. Any enthusiast who finds himself in King's Park during a week-end these days will confirm my statement.

The Hongkong Hockey Association is to run a League, but due to the evacuation. of most of our ladies, no league fixtures will be played by the ladies this season. Never- theless keen interest is being taken by most clubs in this great amateur game.

I should like to see the YM.C.A. and the H.K. Hockey Club in the tournament as that most of the well. It is true

Club players are from the C.B.A. and elsewhere, but I am certain that

they could pick a decent team with at least 30 players to choose from. Although the Army has a Large and Small Units Tournament, a few en- tries from some of the different com- panies and units would certally inake the Association Tournament Interesting. The Royal En- more
