WATSON'S WINNING WALTZ To Fly To NY And
Airman Leads Rest To Convincing Win In The Fat Choy Cup
By I. M. MACTAVISH
The Rest of the Colony won the handsome Fat Choy Charity Cup when they beat Combined Chinese by four goals to two at the Club Stadium last night.
The victory was as convincing as the score suggests. The margin might have been even bigger and had it been so it would not have unduly flattered the winners. This game was widely advertised and it speaks volumes for the good nature and quiet calm of the Hongkong football which public that they accepted the mass team changes the match officials did not even trouble to announce on

FIRST ACCIDENTS IN MONTE CARLO RALLY
Paris, Jan. 20.
The first serious accidents of this year's 28th Monte Carlo Rally were re- ported today from the mountainous regions of Southem France.
The British team of Alex Cleghorn and Alec Newsham and their passenger, who started from Clasgow, were seriously injured when their Singer hit a tree after leaving Dia. They were all taken to hospital in Die where it was stated that although their injuries were serious they were not critical,
Another British team, T. Haddow' and L. Paterson, who also loft Glasgow. were injured when their Sunbeam rolled over several times after skidding on a patch of ice near Le Puy. Haddow, who received a head injury and Paterson a chest injury, were taken to Le Puy hospital, Their passenger, M. Howatt, escaped uninjured.
A high wind, howling over the mountain roads had replaced the snow and ice which suddenly melted away in the Die and Le Puy regions, Reports from the various control points
gave the following arrivals and abandons.
Le Puy: From the Paris starting point, 42 of the 50 starters had checked through,
From the Glasgow starting point, 51 of the 58 starters had checked through. Only one of the 16 Munich starters --- a Saab driven by Spain's Jesus Saiz - had not checked through. Thirty-nine of the 43 Lisbon starters
checked through,
From the Brescia control point in Italy, it was reported that 84 of the 86 Stockholm starters. 15 of the 16 Athens starters, and 18 of the 22 Warsaw
had checked through, Their next control point is at Turin.-

ENGLAND TAKE ON THE
REST TONIGHT IN
SPECIAL RUGGER
RUGGER MATCH
By PAK LO
This evening in a specially arranged match on the Club ground at 7.00 p.m.
under the floodlights England take on the Rest of the Colony. This is to enable the HKRU to decide whether England with their wealth of talent should play in the local Internationals as North England and South England or just England, or should they prove decisively strong in this match whether it will be worth holding the Internationals at all.

Sign Contract
New York, Jan. 20.
In a last minute bid to save the talks for a world heavyweight boxing title fight between the American holder, Floyd Patterson, and Sweden's Ingemar Johansson from breaking down, the Swedish advisor, Eddlie Alqvist will today advise Johansson to immediately fly to New York.
Bill Rosensohn, the American promoter, who is trying to conclude a world title bout between Patterson and Johansson, said that. Alqvist will make a transatlantic telephone call to Johansson in Sweden today and urge him to immediately fly here.
