CROSSWORD PUZZLE
London Apr. 9.
The date of the Halford Hewitt Cup competition is Ukely to be changed, to avoid such discont- forts as were experienced by gol- fers late matches on Friday, which finished in darkness, and, if practicable, to utilise daylight saving to play the final off'a Sun- day after tea.
NEXT BIG FIGHT
Jack McAvoy started to-day to turn for his fight with Jack Pe- tersen at the Empress Stadium: Earl's Court, 011 April 23. He prefers Rochdale to London. These are the two shy and si- lent men of the ring. Neither has much use for talk, or for parading to the blare of trumpets or the Various proposals are under con- beats of drums. sideration The first week-end of rently, a litle bewildered when they Both are, appa- May seemed suitable until some- emerge from their native air, So one recollected that would auto-they train at home in as near to matically debar undergraduates privacy as may be secured. and schoolmasters.

All sorts of rumours have been rying around concerning McAvoy his hand injury and his gener- a Atness.

Big Application
For Space
The new premises and lodge room of the Royal Antidiluvian Order of Buffaloes, otherwise known as the R.A.O.B were opened yesterday, following a brief ceremony of con- secrating the lodge room. The new premises are situated in Queen's Building and there was a goodly turnout of members for this unique service, which marks a fresh turn in the activities of this body.
The club is divided into two | rooms, one of which is the lodge. Here the ceremony of consecreting į the room was performed by Brother Fair closed only at the end of last Although the British Industries F. C. Brimblecombe, K.O.M., P.P.G.P.. who was

RADLEY APPOINTMENT Mr. E. H. Moss has been appoint- ed a master at Radley and will at once take over the cricket there. This unusual haste is due to the taking up of a partnership as Bil-
a fact mentioned some weeks ago.
During the last few years 'Ma- chin has produced (If that be the word> some good Radley sides. If Moss can impart the Ingredients of his own style there will be many more; and at least I am confident he will encourage his charges to hit the ball.
There is a great deal too much pawky public school cricket. And I am not sure Eton are not the worst offenders of all.
MALVERN CRICKET Meanwhile, at Malvern, Moss's old school, the cricket passes from the hands of Mr. C. A. F. Fiddlan- Green to those of Mr. F. O. H Chalk, the Oxford captain of 1934.
Here, again, one need no doubt that youth will be brought up in the right paths. I suppose that Among the stylists produced düz- Ing the last ten years Chalk stands very nearly at the top.
Furthermore, he is an excep- Honally fine fielder anywhere be- .tween the radius of cover-point
and the deep.
I imagine his control of Mal- vern cricket will bring joy, to the hearts of O.Ms whose memory is long enough to dwell on the former greatnesses, of the Fos- ters, the Days, W, H. B. Evans and D. J. Knight.
CHINESE LAWN TENNIS
The
For the first time in lawn ten- nis history China will send a Da- vis Cup team to Europe. four men, according to J. H. Ho, resident in London, may speak so many languages or dialects, that they will find it easier to make English, which they all know, the wamelal language of the party.
W. C. Choy was at Cambridge. He is from Hong Kong. Gordon Lum, veteran of the team at 30, was born in Australia, but comes immediately from Shanghal, 3.
H. Kho is from Java; G. Cheng frem Shanghai.
