In order to ensure that the League Champlonships will be decided before the official closing of the Softball season at the end of April, the Management Committes have re-arranged the remaining League fixtures, according priority to games which have a bearing on the playoff qualification.
As a result of this, four Senior League teams, St Joseph's, South China, Pan- das and the Canadians, face crucial games tomorrow, while the Braves and Jaguars, leading in the Blue and Gold sections, meet Overseas and St Teresa's respectively to complete their fixtures.

Psychology Proved To Be As Important Good Muscles
As
By CORNELIUS RYAN
New York.
According to Gil Dodds and Bob Richards, psychology has been as important as good muscles in this year's indoor track meets in the United States.
Richards became the second man in history to pole vault 15 feet when he did 15 feet one inch in the Millrose Games at Madison Square Garden on January 27.
"I had tried for 15 feet 36 times previously, and failed each time because that 15-foot mark had become a mental block with me," explained 24-year-old Richards, an ordained minister who preaches in a small California church and teaches philosophy in a college. "I always remembered that Cornelius Warmerdam was the only man who ever did 15 feet, and I just couldn't make it.
