POMPEE COULD BEAT OLSON, EXPERTS THINK
London, Dec. 10.
A definite threat to the reign of Carl "Bobo" Olson as Middleweight Champion of the World has risen in the person of Trinidad-born Yolande Pompee, Britain's great- est hope for many years past.
British boxing experts, who watched a tigerish Pompee finish off the experienced American, Jimmy King, in two rounds at Jack Solomon's Harringay Arona tourna- ment on Tuesday night, are convinced that Olson could not have stood up to Pompee's punching.

Tomorrow's Chances At The Valley
By "RAPIER"
1
With all indications pointing to glorious weather for the second day of the Hongkong Jockey Club's Fifth Race Meeting of the 1953/54 season tomorrow, thousands of racegoers will take to the roads that lead to Happy Valley.
The Firat Saddling Bell will be rung at 1.80 p.m. with the first race starting at 2/p.m. sharp. There are eight events on the programme, the most important being the Hongkong Autumn Champions for ponies of this or any previous scoson and the Sports Club Jubilee Cup confined to Class 3 ponies.
Here are my estimates of the ton (Mr F. Noodt), Moonrush up, is the logical choice for Uie chances:
