The only two foreign competitors in the Colony Badminton Open Championships, A. Torres, Jr. and M. S. Yanga of the Phillipines, made. their debut yesterday with a 50-50 muccess.
:
The Philippines 1919 and 1950 Singles Champion, Torres, overcame some stern second-set resistance by the University Junior player, Hooi Serig-tuck, to win by 15-5 and 17-15.
Yanga, who is essentially a Doubles player, fell victim to the former Colony triple champion, P. K. Hooi, in two-sets-12-16-and-6-15.-
Terres showed vastly improved form on that of his visit to Hong- kong last year. Fast and agile. he displayed a wide repertoire of strokes, including a good back- hund flick, a powerful smash and delicate net shots. A little more accuracy in strokes should him far in this tournament.

A CLOSE BUN
A little more steadiness would have enabled them to give their more experienced opponents A closer fight.
Mrs Tebbutt was particularly. conspicuous with her powerful stroltes and good smashes from the base, while Mrs Seyer came oll, though not often enough, with some sharp drop shots,

Eighteen-year old Ko Wai- bong put up a creditable per- formance in the Singles against second-sceded W: F. Foo, though losing by 15-9 and 15-0.
Play was much closer than the scores would indicate, en Ko had his more favoured ap ponent well on the run during the greater part of the game.
In the forecourt young Ko was a good match for his ep- ponent, but lack of power in his strokes put him at a decided disadvantage in the backcourt.
A little more depth in his long shots, and an improvement in his retrieving of smashes should make him one of the Colony's most promising future conten- ders for the Singles crown.
Another gallant loser of the evening was that bundle of energy. Bernadine Remedios. In partnership with her sister, she went down to the Ladies' Doubles holders by 9-15 and 5-15, Despite their defeat, the Remedios sisters! showed that they have gone long way in their combination since last year, and were definite- ly superior to the winners in this department of the game,
