TWO UPSETS IN LEAGUE SOFTBALL
University Beat CAA In Ladies' League, Austers Beat Comets
By "TIME OUT"
Every once in a while a writer ends up eating his own words. On Saturday I predicted that the CAA Ladies should defeat the Undergraduatos from Pokfulam, but that the latter might make me eat my words. Well they did. I humbly cat my words with no regret whatsoever, as the Undergraduates were definitely worthy winners.
By the way, the score was 17 runs to 10. There
was another minor upset, this time in the Junior League. Dave Cooper's much-improved Austers edged out the once-proud Comets 12-11.
