BILL FUNK SPRINGS A BOMBSHELL TO OUTLAST W. F. FOO IN TWO SETS
By "ARGONAUT"
Badminton
Two teeded players went out of the Colony Open Singles Championship quarter-finals yesterday by the two-set route, leav- ing now only one of the four originally seeded players, Ramon Young to contest the semi-finals.
First to go last night was the 1949 and 1950 Philippine Singles Champion, A. Torres, Jr., who awed out to the Hongkong 1947-48 and 1949-50 Champion, Robert Tay, by 15-6 and 15-9.
The biggest upset of the evening, however, was the brilliant win of former Shanghai Champion Bill-Funk. Funk sprang a bombshell on the critles, who were cynical of his staying power, when he outlasted the Colony runner-up, W. F. Foo, in the first set and emerged an easy winner in the second.

WONG PENG-SOON. -Always A Word Of
Praise Or Of Condolence For An Unlucky Opponent
London, Mar. 25.
Wong Peng-soon, the Malayan sports goods salesman who won the All-England Badminton Championships at the Empress Hall for the third year in succession, is a worthy claimant to the title "Sportsman of the Week."
Dally Express staff photographer Stanley Sherman took this picture as 33 to 1 Phariza was about to pass the post as winner the £2,710
of Lincolnshire Handicap, landing the first leg of ównor* Mr Ollif-Lee's £50,000 double.
It shows 27 of the field of 40 runners without 100.0 favourite Abra- ham's Star. He was badly drawn and never soen with a chance.
Many champions are more temperamental than prima donnas, but Wong is never heard uttering a harsh word either about opponents or judges. He always has n word of praise for a shot which beats him, or a word of condolence for an unlucky opponent. If a questionable decision is given against him, he merely shrugs andra flashes a broad smile.
