Laos Footballers Still
Long Way Short
Of Hongkong Standard
By I. M. MACTAVISH
The enterprise of the Laos Football Association in bringing their novice footballers to Hongkong will be rewarded if they leave here with an appreciation of how much they still have to learn about the game.
Yesterday they tackled a very nominal Combined Chinese side
at Caroline Hill and were defeated by five goals to nil. The final measure of their defeat meant very little because the Hongkong players quickly realised the limitations of the visitors and were con- lent to coast along to victory. The difference in standards between the two teams really represented the gulf in soccer instinct which the players on the opposite sides enjoyed."

Death Comes On An Easter Afternoon
DUNLOP
Two racing motorcyclists were killed la a mass pile-up on London's Crystal Palace course last Mon- day, watched by a crowd of 20,000.
The crash was caused by two bikes colliding and spltling on the difficult Anerley Ramp corner. Riders behind were forced to swerve wildly to avoid them, and in a split second six riders were lying dead or injured on the track.
Killed were Edward Bourer, 25, who went into the safety fence, and Peter Luscombe, 33, a married man with one child, who was thrown from his bike.
Picture shows bodies spilling across the track in the split-second of disaster. First prize for the race was £5. — Londoâ Express Photo,

Prince Aly Khan's St Crespin III, joint favourite in ante-post betting lists on the Epsom Derby, ran a fine "trial" here today in the Prix de Guiche.
Taking the lead two furlongs out in the one mile and 1% furlongs race, he raced on smoothly to win impressively.
He had three and a half lengths to spare over another well-fancied Epsom Derby candidate, Baron de Zuylen de Nyevelt's Apollo III, who was fourth.
