UNIVERSITY OUTCLASSED WITHOUT E. L. GOSANO
ATTACK THRASHED BY ARMY BATSMEN
PROMISING NEW BOWLER WITH A PRONOUNCED OFF BREAK
ROYAL ENGINEERS' BIG SCORE
(By R. Abbit)
The weather on Saturday last was abominable early on, and I am not surprised that Barry and Hawkins-neither of whom I think either could see over the harbour when phoning or had seen over it-decided about eleven o'clock to cancel their match. When I say 'see over the harbour 1 am exaggerating, as you could only see about half-way across. As it happened things cleared up a lot and there certainly was not as much rain at Happy Valley that morning as there was up the Peak. I expect the University wish they could have cancelled their match.
TILL APRIL
The CS.C.C. and Navy game was postponed as I have said and is now
it rosily was most unfortunate for the University that they should be without their two beat bowlers- indood except for soms very amalldown for April 4 as I understand it. change I might have said their only, two bowlers. I fool nure that I speak for all cricketers when I voice our sympathy with E. L. Gonano in his Had loss. Ile was terribly missed both with the ball and with the bat.

The Army went in and Rs usual Permeo led off with fraworks, hitting the ball extremely hard to score 68 runs while Bill Williams had put to gether a sedate nine. The latter, however, opened up later and in one over acored sixtoon run».
K. L. Ng who, I rather think has been promoted from the second oleven (sorry if I am wrong) was the only ran to keep a length. There was one ahorl apoll when Priteird was run out, Garthwaite bowled by the alowest of yorkers, and Johnson caught for only a dozen, but there after Walch came In to play what I have heard called a characteristic In-

BATSMEN FAIL
When the University went in they appeared to be quite paralysed, Fong stayed quite a long time for ten runs and Ride_also_got into double Aguron, but to quote a well known Edwardian lyric "the rest of the story's improper.”
I should like to see all games in the league championship played right out, I confess. There was no other lenguo game in the senior division but the Club In a non-league game beat Craigengower, in a low-scoring match, chiclly thanks to a half-century by Dioky Richardson whom they appar ently found lying about loose after his fixture had been cancelled.
Me Innis got eight wickets so either he is bowling much better now or Craigengower found the wicket dif-
cuil.

THE SECOND DIVISION Craigengawer Just chewed up the II.K.C.C. Recond and threw the bita away, which on their recent form rather surprised me. It is true that the Club were one inan abort but they hind by no means a bad side which in- cluded Stewart, Potter, Fox, A. K. MacKenzie and Jack Armstrong. The latter played a gallant knock of forty-three but the rest could do noth- ing and C.C.C. won by nine wickets and then some.
A BIG WIN
It is at first sight, curious that the two Varsity teams who did so wel! last week should crash now, but must be remembered that vacancies in the first must be filled and it usually means that the second eleven is all upset. After
the Var-
Indians one hardly expected with the

runs.
R.A.M.C. DO WELL
Good marks by athletes and enthusiastic chearing by spectators made the first Far West indoor moet in 21 years a success at San Francisco, and uncovered some new Olympic Games possibilities. Sam Allen, left, Oklahoma Baptist College, set a 74 second world mark in the 60 yard high hurdles. Earl Meadows, right, collegiate champ, took the pole vault at 13 fost 81⁄2 inches.

Not! a bad notion either, for his running) forehand seems, at least temporarily, to have "gone the way of all flesh" It was not functioning at all well yesterday. In atanding forehand drive was quite good, though much less pacy than it used to be. But he made some clayer placements with It, notably down the tramlines.
On the backhand Tsui aliced and chopped his way to a succession of points and, at least defensively, appeared to be quite invulnerable on this hand. Nevertheless one missed' the variety of shots which used to be the canence of Tsui's tenais and ho does not strike one the same purposeful player of three years ago— (Continued on Pagi 9.)

RECORD
Hamilton's Fine Run
A record was created yester- day afternoon by Riflemsan Hamilton, of the Royal Ulster Rifles, when he won' the annual Kowloon marathon race, or- ganised by St. Andrew's Club, completing the course in the excellent time of 33 minutes 21 seconds. He thus bettered the existing record of 33 mins. 25 seconds established by Bug- lor White in 1930. The course covered a distance of 64 miles.
Hamilton is one of the best milers seen in the Services in Egypt and ha has won the ovent in the Army Com mand championship for the past two year. In open competition he beat the Royal Air Force champion. He also won the open milo orent at the Alexandria City Polles sports two years in succession.
