A
Brief Reappearance
For Devonport Services
By
PETER LOVEGROVE
Devonport Services, after n very indifferent start to their Rugby Union seuson-they lost six of their first seven matches—have suddenly won four succes sive games.
They overwhelmed the RNE College at Keyham by 28 points to six, Old Cranleighans 24-6, Saracens 23-6 at Southgate, and United Services Chatham 12-8 on a pitch ankle-deep in mud.

Hongkong overwhelmed Japan by four matches to nil on the first night's play of the second round Asian Zone Thomas Cup Badminton tie at the Queen Elizabeth II Playground yesterday evening.
Hongkong won all four matches in straight sets, but the Japanese were far from discouraged and even seemed quite happy over, the fact that they averaged about nine points a set.
