COVENTRY
Kowloon Tong are still-in a EXETER quandary concerning their MILLWALI. mixed doubles badminton team. Miss Mackenzie is not available to play against the Sailors and Soldiers' Home on Friday, and although, in an endeavour to avoid postponement, strenuous efforts have been made to fill her place, the club has so far been unsuccessful.
ARS
Until this morning there overy indication that it would be possible to turn out a team, but those hopes have been dashed by the inability of the proposed sub- stitute to play.
Kowloon Tong intend to pursue their efforts to secure another lady player, and in view of this a final decision may not be reached until to-morrow morning. In the event of failure, there are several alter- natives.
The S, and S. Home can either; agree to a postponement, or Kow- loon Tong, can play with two pairs and
concede three games, or they can concede the whole match and with it the league points..
I think too, according to the rules, in the event of the teams being unable mutually to agree to a postponement and the default- ing team la satisfod that it has justifiable reason for a postpone- ment. It can appeal to the Association for jurisdiction.

ROUSING VICTORY OVER EDDIE PHILLIPS
ENTERPRISE AND DASH EARN
RIGHT TO ME ET PETERSEN
(By Geoffery Simpson)
London, Oct. 26. Len Harvey can examine his entire thirteen years of fight- ing and fail to cite a smarter or more impressive ferformance than he gavo in his home town of Plymouth on Saturday night in outboxing, and often outclassing, his London challenger, Eddie Phillips.
The man is no enigma. Notorious for his spoiling defensive boxing, Harvey, at the age of 28, slowed that when he likes he can be a highly entertaining and brilliant fighter. Throughout the 15 rounds there was not the suspicion of a hold or a pull, or anything that is not permitted by the book.
It was boxing of a delightful
kind. Never in his life has Harvey fought with greater freedom, finèr enterprise, or more dash. Wonderfully fast, his brain was working a second faster than his op- ponent's
