CHAMPIONSHIP TIES AT KING'S COLLEGE
(By "ADREM")
CONSIDERING THE PLAYERS on view, last night's Open Doubles championship events at King's College must be considered disappointing.
RESULTS
H. Eardley and Norman Smith beat J. J. Remedios, and E, A. Carvalho 15-8, 13-15, 18-
C. K. Cheah and T.-T. Chin beat D. Kwok
and F. H. Kwok 16-6, 16-17, 18-11.. H. T. Woo and K. L. Yung beat F. Koh
and C. Y. Yung 8-15, 15-8, 15-8,

It is probable that the difficult lighting had an upsetting effect on all who played but rarely have I seen a match in this class of badminton in which there were so many errors.

FAST PACE
in
Eardley and Smith started off at such a pace that their opponents were completely demoralised. Smashing, driving, rushing service, the St. John's pair swept all before them and went out in quick time at 15-8,
The opening of the second game was much the same and it appeared fairly certain that Eardley and Smith would
go out in straight games. With the Recreio pair improving, however,
and both Eardley and Smith making numerous errors, Carvalho and Reme- dios wiped off the deficit and went on to lead 14-11. A splendid late rally by the opposition proved just. insuf- ficient to save the day and the scores were tied at a game all, Eardley and Smith drawing up to 13-14 but being unable to force a "set."
The St. John's pair made no mistake in the final game and changed over at 8 without having conceded an ace They then led 11-0 and despite a gallant effort by Remedios and Carval ho, who ran off a string of six aces, they went out for game and match at 15-8.

TONIGHT'S BADMINTON
ST.ANDREW'S SHOULD BEAT ST. TERESA'S
(By "ADREM")
There should be an interesting game in "B" Division of the Badminton League this evening; it is between St.
St. Andrew's and the- Teresa's and result will mean a lot to the former team as, having lost two matches, they are still in the running for the cham- plonship but must beat St. Andrew's to stay there.
St. Andrew's have now settled down into a difficult side to beat and having regard to their balance, I expect them to win.
They have two good pairs in B. F. Fincher and H. Kew, and A. E. Brown and W. GII- les, while A. S. Bliss and A. E.. P. Guest, although somewhat weaker than the others, should be able to at least beat St. Teresa's · third string.
St. Teresa's will again be without Francis Tsang and; in consequence, will have a vety weak third string in John Chen and F. Chong.

Blarney Stone Shield Rugby Seven-A-Side Tourna- ment will be played to-day, commencing at 4.30 p.m. on the Club ground, Happy Valley.
Police "A" should easily enter the Third Round and Royal Scots should have few anxious moments against H. M. S. Arawa.
The best game in the preliminary programme will be that at 5.10 p.m., when H. M.. S. Tamar and Small Ships "A" meet Royal Engineers, the Army champions.
Stevens and Paul will need watching very carefully, the latter being worth two players in sevens. Walte and Artingstall will probably be playing for Sappers, though neither is likely to be available on Saturday if the R.E.'s win to-day's game.

Smith is possessed of a very nice angle drop and also hits hard but he too has much to learn in the matter of courtcraft.
Game between C. K. Cheah and T. T. Chin and the Kwok brothers was one between attack and defence, The University pair maintained, à consistent attack throughout the first game and although David Kwok was

In the second-game Frank Kwok improved somewhat and managed to obtain more depth to his clearing shots.
they played a full-back instead of a third threequarter, and this may prove sound enough to-day, but it will cer- tainly minimise their chances against Tamar or Engineers in the next round.
Club “A” should pile up a big score against 6th A.A., but they will need to watch Giblin.

ROLLING FOOT ACTION
BY BEST BELL
By rolling His feet to the right on the upstroke and to the left on the down, Henry Picard finds an áld to smoother body turn and weight transference. Differing distinctly from the pure toe mo- tion, this movement on the up- 'swing causes the whole left part of the left foot, to rise gradually with the left heel still on the ground, but only inside of it. As the club is raised the body turn, synchronized. With it, puts more weight on the right foot which by coordinates with the fet throwing this weight on the out- side edge. This factor releases the muscles of the body so that ten- sion is removed and a freer swing is possible,
