PORTUGAL ENTERS FINAL OF INTERNATIONAL HOCKEY TOURNAMENT
Portugal yesterday qualified for the final of the International Hockey Competition by defeating India by four goals to one and will now meet the winner of the England versus Pakistan match.
The Portuguese, who lost to England in last year's final by an odd goal scored from a penalty bully, were not fully stretched yesterday, by the Indians and noticeably eased off after taking a 3-0 lead in the first half.
Hongkong Football Club on Saturday, Granger was badly Close Injured early in the game and was carried from the field for attention.
After about 15 minutes he went back on the field to play in the forward line but it was so obvious that he was unable to move without suffering pain that he was called off the pitch by the team officials.

Chinese YMCA Win Men's "B" Division Championship
Fielding three schoolboy players, the Chinese YMCA outplayed Recreto yesterday by 8-1 in their second but last League match to win the first Badminton League title to be decided this season - that of the Men's "B" Division.
The Recreio players were badly handicapped in having to play on a strange court, but this does not detract from the fine performance of the Chinese whose three schoolboy singles players, S. K. Wong, Slu Chaen and C. K. Wong, annexed four of their five sets by decisive margins.
