Exciting Badminton Match Last Night
First Men's
Season
No more exciting finish to a league match has been seen in badminton this season than last night's men's doubles counter between Kowloon Tong and St. Andrew's "B", played on the former's court.
C11-
After socuring a long lend of 4-1, Kowloon Tong faltered and it required a brilliant recovery on the part of P. C. Leang and J. M. Pong to win the eighth game and with it the match. Eventually the home team won by the odd game in nine, Peter Sin and B. K. Wong just failing to annex the inst tle of the evening, after leading 20-16,
Kowloon Tong thus scored their first victory of the season in the men's doubles, and this made the club's third sicerselve suttern, two mixed doubles having heen won during the past week.
LEUNG AND PONG,
The home team owest everything to Leung and Fong, who illustrated the rapid progress they have made in the gomo by winning all three counters.

The visiting pair, who played extremely well through- out, took long lends of 11-4, 16-4, 17-31 and 20-15 before the Kowloon Tong couple recovered to draw up to 19-20. Then service changed twice without any addition to the score before the visitorn matched the one point nrees. sary to give them game.
A very similar contest resulted from their all-important game with Leung and Pong which followed, Kirby and Dawson wept, into a lead of 10% but were then caught and found them. selves led 11-10. The Kowloon Tong players managed to retain this narrow advantage after a series of fast rallies and elever shots and forged ahead to win after they had reached 18-17,
BRILLIANT ST. JOHN'S WIN
St. John's accomplished their best performance of the season last evening when they entertained and defented Recreio "D" by six games to three. The all-round strength of the Saints was well demonstrated by the fact that each pair won two games.

Proper stance of a guard is a crouch with the feet spread so that the toe of the outside foot is on a line with the heel of the inside foot. Very little weight is on the hands. From this position, the player can charge ahead, or pull out of line to aid a runner.
The charge should he low and from under neath, so as to lift the fefense away from the man who is carrying the ball.
