Selection of the USS Orca as the "dark, horse" squad of the season will draw no argument from hundreds of softball fans and when the Orca heavy hitters come up against Ed Carvalho's champion Braves for their second appearance at 2 pin. tomorrow, many are of the opinion that the much-awaited tussle should provide entertaining, thrill- ing softball.

The Cricket League season enters its fourth week this afternoon with a promise of still better things to come. The First Division League standings already show even at this early, stage that an extremely close race for the Championship is under way.
For the first time in years, the task of picking the eventual Champions is a difficult one. Army, whom I nominated at the commencement of the season as the favourites, are meeting with much stiffer opposition than anticipated and have still
to show consistent Championship form.
