Hongkong Interporter Here

In addition to Reynolds the Club is able to call upon the services of T. H. Bradford, the well-known Hongkong inter porter, who is admittedly one of the finest second row forwards seen in the game in the Far East for several years.

Unfortunately, however, it is learned that he has been recently suffering from knee trouble, but whether his injury will have healed to allow him to resume his robust style of play in the near future is unknown. It is hoped, though, that he will soon be fit, for with men of the calibre of Reynolds and Bradford in the middle row, Shanghai's forwards should be able to give of their very best.

Bolstering up the attacking strength of the threes is R. H. Roe, who was able to participate in but few matches last winter. His ability to open up the game and exploit to the full the slightest mistakes of his opponents is ioo well known to rugby followers to need any comment here.
