Little
Men Can Play Some Foul Tricks Too
Fouling is not confined to the big, robust men, who are, in fact, often the cleanest players of all; nor is it confined to the temperamentul player who "blows up" when he is beaten or hit.

HIGH STANDARD REACHED FULHAM v. LIVERPOOL AT CRAVEN COTTAGE
IN JUNIOR BADMINTON CHAMPIONSHIP MATCHES
By “ARGONAUT”
Four thrilling three-set matches of a high standard featured the Colony Schoolboys' and Junior Badminton Championships which con- tinued at Craigengower Cricket Club last night.
The beat match of the evening was the Junior. Mixed Doubles encounter between the University pair of I. H, Tan and Miss May Leong and the Kowloon Tong combination of Jimmy Koo and Mrs Mary Chow,
In the third set, the Kowloon Tong pair were leading by 14-10 with one ser- vice' in hand.
Mrs Chow successfully forced May Leong to the back court with her service. A half court ob return by May. Leong was nut with a full blooded smash by Koo, which was a winner all
the way.
The University girl, however, rose to the occasion and miracu- tously sent the shuttle back to the base for a brilliant point.
After his partner had added one point on her next service, L. H. Tun, in a grand exhibition of coolness and determination tonk seven points in a row for sel and match,
Both the men were prominent in this match, showing excellent court coveinge and good mashes. Ton was the slightly all-rounder than Koo, whose weakness on the back hond gave his opponent a con- stant target in the second and
