HONGKONG CHINESE TO BE TRIED ON CRESTA RUN OVER THE OCEAN
COMBINED SERVICES 3-2 IN MEMORIAL CUP MATCH
By I. M. MacTAVISH
For the second time in a few days the Memorial Cup has inspired. the competing teams to provide some grand football entertainment. The issue as far as the result was concerned was in doubt until the final.` whistle although there was never any doubt as to which was the better side.
The Chinese boys played more pure football in this game than they have done for a long time......but Ok!!.............. what finishing. They made opening after opening and then threw them away.

Neither Tomlinson nor Morgan played to form on the wings. The diminutive right winger crossed the balls that brought both his aide's goals but he. like Morgan, sent for too many bells behind the goal. Bennett chased every ball but he was

The enthusiast behind the toboggan is 29-year-old Hugh Wentworth Ping, an executive at Firth Vickers,' who make the steel for the Swift, Vallant and Viscount'Aircraft,
Mr Ping said: “My Loboggan is of conventional design. The secret is in the steel. The entire chassis is constructed of steel which is used in the jet pipè of the Valiant's engines. It la incredibly tough stuff, and toughness is an important factor on the Cresta Run, when you may be doing eighty miles an hour."
The record for the course is 46.2 seconds, made in 1937 by the late William Fiske, an American-Express Photo,
