SCOTLAND'S GREAT PERFORMANCE All-Powerful Chinese Subdued ASSOCIATION LEAGUE HOCKEY

At Last: Portugal Unfortunate

(By “SCRAMBLER”)

BIGGEST SURPRISE during the week has been the unexpected de- feat of the powerful Chinese team by Scotland, and those who witnessed the game will readily agree with me that the Scotsmen deserved everything for their victory. Behind at the interval by three goals, they came back „stronger than over to avort defeat and substituto victory in its stead.

BRILLIANT HALF-BACKS -

To the inside trio of Ferrier, Hossack and Howlett

goes much of the credit for the success, for during the

greater part of the game, these three kept up a never

ending attack on the Chinese goal, and for such persist-

ency, they had their reward. For Howlett it must have been a "victory" day, for besides scoring the "hat-trick" he was morally responsible for the slips made by Lau Hin hon in goal, for whenever this goalie had possession, Howlett's worrying methods had him unnerved.

The defence also put up an excellent display, and although they took quite some time in finding their feet, once they had steadied, they had the Chinese well covered.

Falconer played

a very good game at centre half. His marking of Lee Wal- tong was very effective. Nay- smith and partner covered each other well.

Weak Beginning

Shortest Bouts On Record

The shortest glove drht on re cord occurred in America in 1902 when Battling Nelson knocked ou William Rosser in two seconds.

In England the record is six seconds (Harry Pigeon beat Billy

Lambert).

DUO-BRIDGE

(British Made)

The Board for Two Players

andhiot

Two Bridge players can use the DUO-BRIDGE Board anywhere and at any time; there is no need to go out to the Club on these black nights.

You will enjoy it in any situation, because it is the very best Bridge game for two people yet invented.

Let us admit at once that there are certain technical difficulties which cannot be overcome. We are well aware of them-but they do not affect the character of the game in any way. Neither player sees more than his own hand while bidding and only his own hand and Dummy during play. It is obvious that peculiar bidding, psychics and wild jump-overbids are no use in such a game, indeed the hands have been very carefully slected.
