Hockey, swinging into its last two weeks—except, perhaps, for specially arranged games—finds itself in a hurry to get through with the season's fixtures. A heavy programme of two senior encounters and three junior tussles are therefore scheduled for Saturday.
The past week-end gave the Loyal Regiment the championship of the First Division and the Durham Light Infantry the pennant in the Second Division. Incidently, the Shanghai Hockey Club were the last barrier the invincible army eleven had to hurdle and the civilians certainly put up a noble performance in spite of all disadvantages.
This Saturday at the Race Course these two teams will come to grips for the second successive time. The civilians are most determined to prove that they are nearly as good as the two-time champions and that their present "door-mat" position in the league is only a case of misfortune. The Loyals, on the other hand, are going to reach down for their hidden power so as to prove the 2-1 victory last Sunday was no mistake, no "fluke."
