of the weakest in their history. Their display on Saturday against Recreio did nothing to confirm that opinion.
The return of the evergreen Miss Gray to the full-back division, and HOCKEY the introduction of two former C.B.S. school- girls in the Misses June Booker and the Dorothy Watson have made all difference in the world.
Miss Gray showed a turn of speed which compared very favourably with her more youthful opponents. It was noticeable also, especially in the se- cond half when she definitely had the opposing left-wing combination tap- ed, that the Recreio girls revealed an inferiority complex hove in view!

A pleasing feature of the school- girls' play is that they appear to pay no heed to the score and keep up the same pace and tactics throughout the game.

EASTERN AGAIN LUCKY: CHEONG
WING CHOY BRILLIANT
THOUGH THE EASTERN Association had informed the Football Association that the majority of their players were still suffering from the effects of injuries sustained a week ago this fact was not apparent in their League game against South China "B" yesterday when they won by the odd goal in three after a goalless first half.

goal,
For Recreio Miss Barros, in saved her side from much heavier de- feat and together with the consistent Miss P. Gonsalves, centre-half, was the only player in the team to im- press to any extent.
Recreio are somewhat slow in get- ling to the ball and they could pro- fitably dispose of it on a great many occasions far more rapidly than they are doing just now.
It was a pity that there was some misunderstanding about the appoint- ments of umpires for the Brawn Cup game between Recreio and Central British School on. Saturday with the result that only a friendly game was played.
True sporting spirit was shown over this. C.B.S. were willing that an um- pire from Recreio be asked but that the gentleman had to leave before game would be finished while Recreio were willing to play with any umpire. As nobody was available the teams still had an enjoyable friendly.

Even the Arst flight golfers often undergo some sort of evolu- tion process in their swings. In many instances the change may be so slow that the golfer himself is unaware of.lt. It is only when some concrete evidence in the form of before and after photo- graphs, such as those of Sarazen above, is presented that the meta- morphosis is made apparent.
Gene. Sarazen, whose style is illustrated above, has widened his stance with the years. A bold player, one given to hitting the ball in unrestrained fashion, Sarazen's stance in his earlier years was with his feet quite wide apart. Endowed with supple body there was no need of narrowing the stance' to 'gain' suf-,' ficient body turn. With his feet braced widely, apart and planted firmly on terra firma,” he could punch an iron shot to the pin with the best. Years have not dimn
a
scores of his will attest, but they have made it necessary for him
to narrow the width of his feet so that his body will turn more easily. Golfers who find it diffl- cult to make a sufficient body turn will find that keeping the feet fairly close together is a con- siderable aid.
