TULSA MEETS CHUNG HWA TO-MORROW IN CHARITY TILT LEAGUE PLAY-OFF SELECTIONS STILL IN ABEYANCE FOR MACAO
By "Grandstand”
WITH THE ABSENCE of U.S.S. Mindinao from TO-MORROW
port, the H.B.-Mindinao play-off will have to be postponed for yet another week, although personally I do not entertain hopes of this ever taking place, as I understand most of H.B. squad will be away on Volunteer duties again next week.
A later date is impossible, as the generous ex- tension of time given by the Naval authorities for the return of the ground will by then have expired. This will really create some problem for the League Officials. This question will in all probability, be taken up at the next League meeting on Wednes- day.
