Tomorrow Play in the second round of the Men's Hockey League begins this week-end with the game between the United "A" and the Seaforth Highlanders serving as the main attraction tomorrow afternoon at the Race Course, The Highlanders are the only ones who have not lost to the all-conquering United "A" eleven. A little more than a month ago these two sides battled to a 1-all draw and it was in this tussle that the United dropped their only point in the First Division. The question whether the Scottish team will be able to hold the league leaders down for a second consecutive time is very doubtful as the soldiers have been shaping none too well lately. They lost to the Germans last week by an unexpected score of 4-1.
Two games are scheduled to take place today at the Race Course. The Shanghai "A" XI, at present second in standing, are to meet the Germans. 'The latter pulled quite a surprise by defeating the Seaforths and may continue to upset the apple cart and dampen the S.H.C. representatives' hopes of giving the United a close run in the League. The Germans are known for their fighting spirit when they have their backs to the wall.
The other contest on today's programme will be played between the East Surrey Regiment and the Shanghai "B" XI. The S.H.C. seconders are much too weak for any senior team and the Regimental players should be able to walk away with the game.
