Both Army and Sing Too fared none too well in their last week's matches and Rlready showed signs of being stale.

Positional Planning
By HORACE LINDRUM
M
(World Professional Snooker Champion) Last week I left you with a Snooker position useful for practising cue-ball control--the most casential factor in illinrds and Snooker. The diagram this week shows the positions I would play for in order to take all the balls. Firstly, the Red nearest to the euo-ball would bo potted into the top left-hand corner pocket with the right speed to leave the cus-ball for a three-quarter cuo position (marked X1) on the Black' into the top right-hand corner pocket..
Assuming the Black has been potted, the cule-ball would then make contact with the fed on the right-hand side cushion end klek it over the right-hand. middle pocket, The cue-ball would now be at the position marked X2, and from here I would trickle the Red ball la
