HENDON WILL DEFINITELY UNDERTAKE THEIR MANILA AND HONGKONG TOUR
FROM OUR OWN
CORRESPONDENT
London, Mar. 9.
Hendon will definitely undertake their Hongkong and Manila tour at the end of this season. Secretary Stanley Greene confirmed this today as rumours persisted that a crowded fixture list might make it impossible for the amateurs to find the time.
“We are definitely going to Hongkong and we are looking forward to the tour,” he said. Hendon's drawn game with Pegasus at Highbury on Saturday in the FA Amateur Cup semi-finals means that for the fifth time their Middlesex Senior Cap tte with their local rivals, Edgware, has had to be postponed.
·Hendon and Edgware were due to meet next Saturday but now Hendon will be engaged in a replay with Pegasus. In view of this match they will rest all their regular first team players and will field a side, of reserves for their League game on Friday. On Easter Monday they will play two more games, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.
It is expected that the first team's forward line will play

A large crowd turned out to see, in the quarter-finals, Tamar defeat KOSB "A" by a single try scored by Fawcett. ESLI defeat the 27 HAA "A" also by a single try scored by Evans. The Club "A" beat 3rd Royal Tanks "A" by 11 points to nll, the scorers being Stewart, Nolan and Taylor, and Nolan converted one try. Wayfoong spoilt the KÖSB "B" seven from going any further by eight points to nil Layton and Craig scored one try each and Craig converted one of the tries.

This put Tamar & KSLI into the first semi-final, Tamar winning this very thrilling and even game 'when Lattey dropped a goal after extra time had been allowed.

Despite this he finished second in the long-distance race- "thanks," he says, "to the Nor- wegian spectators. who cheered me on all the time as if I were a Norwegian."
Just over a week ago, Makoko was offered at 60 to 1. A promising display at St. Cloud, when he came in runner- up, cut those odds to 40 to 1 and the closing offer tonight was only 22 to 1.
The Club will want some of them next season and ten minutes of that kind of fast, open rugger is very trying. Indeed to play seven-a-alde rug- gor at all demands perfect at ness and health. From the spectators' point of view, it is
