By "ARGONAUT"
A wealth of new talent and an improved standard of badminton were the gratifying features of the opening games of the 1954 Colony Schoolboys' and Schoolgirls' Open Championships at the Queen's College courts yesterday.

The most impressive display was by Chu Sal-wah of Pui Chung School. Competing in the junior class, Chu accounted for DBS's Sion Dung-shun by 15-0 and 18-17 and during the two-sei game showed himself to be a good miniature of shuttle king Wong Peng-soon in bulld, footwork, strokes and court mannerisms.
