BIG DEFEAT OF ARMY "A" BY RECREIO
COLOURS LOWERED
FOR FIRST TIME THIS LEAGUE SEASON DEADLY BOWLING BY ALVES AND L. G. GOSANO
CPL. WEBB HITS CLUB ATTACK FOR BRILLIANT CENTURY
(By "ADREM”)
ALTHOUGH credit for the finest individual per-
formance in last Saturday's Junior League cricket matches must go to Cpl. Webb, of Army "B" for a dashing century against the Club, most spectacular team feat was achieved by that very keen side, Club de Recreio.
Adrian Quist's revival in form, as ably demonstrated against the Americans Donald Budge and Gene Mako, în Australia recently, leads critics to believe that Austra- the lia will again challenge for Davis Cup in this year's series.
