Chineso Y.M.C.A. suffered their | C.R.C. second defeat of the season in the Chinese "A" Division of the badmton YM.C.A... league last evening when they visited St. Andrew's Chinese Recreation Club and conced- ed the points by six games to three.
The "Y" were clearly handicapped by the strange conditions and did not reproduce anything like their normal form.
S. W. Liang and Frank Kwok were in fine fettle for the home team, winning all three games, while H. W. Ho and W. C. Choy collected two
games.

At the Eu Tong-sen gymnasium, University -"B" completed "double" ugainst St. Andrew's "A", winning by six games to three, visitors were in poor form, and never looked like saving the points. The Varsity players gave a good display on their own court, and had their opponents on the defensive for the better part of the match.
In the "B" Division, St. John's experienced the greatest difficulty in 'beating St. Andrew's "B" on the Jatter's court, finally emerging win- ners by the odd game. M. Well and 5. A. Broadbridge struck good form for the home team to win two games, but the visitors were better balanced. Kowloon Tong "A" won at will against

A TYPICAL STORY! Good News For
"When I arrived Home on leave I bought
a second-hand car. It looked fine, but after 6 weeks I became so fed up" with all the trouble and expense i was having with it, I sold and bought a NEW FORD and brought it back with me. Never had the least trouble with the new car and the 'rest of my leave was the most enjoyable I've ever had "
THIS STORY IS NOT ONLY TYPICAL IT'S TRUE. WE COULD GIVE THE NAMES OF MANY PEOPLE IN THE COLONY WHO HAVE HAD JUST SUCH AN EXPERIENCE.

· KARANCSUNNILAISET NIMETER KATOLIKE TO MOUNTAIN CHERUBATZUEKIN,
THERE is a lot of talk going on
about Hongkong adopting the third back game. I hope it is so much moonshine. The third back method is purely "negative" and "de" fensive football. It denics your own attack of its essential liaison, the centre-half, and forces your backs into spreading out, whereas they are probably accustomed to covering the middle of the field. Quite apart from Its shortcomings as a system,
feel the third back game is not what the Colony should indulge in on Thurs- day, largely because our players are unaccustomed to it and have not Its technique at their finger tips. The old fashioned, but orthodox, method of wing halves concentrating more on their wingers and the full backs covering the centre of the field, will, I feel sure, prove more beneficial to the Colony than the third back game.
