CHALMERS FACES STRONG CHALLENGE
THREE NEW SKIPS LOSE IN
DEBUT GAMES
HUNDRED per cent. records in the premier
league skips table went by the board last Saturday, and, as a result of C. G. Silva's un- expected setback at the hands of C. S. Rosselet's four, U. M. Omar, with five wins to his credit in as many matches, leads the list, followed by Silva. J. Shepherd and R. F. Luz are the only other two skips with clean sheets.
J. Chalmers is holding the honours in the junior division, though G. H. Sherriff, J. J. Basto, and G. E. F. Thompson are awaiting his first slip. Last week three skips made their 1935 de- buts A 0. Madar, N., M. Currie, and C. Strange, all of whom lost.
The following is the complete record of every skip in the 1935 Leagues to date:-
