Liang's lobs deserted him and Kwok's drives, though still useful, held no further terrors, the Portuguese volleying with sublime confidence and no little skill. Remedios was the more spectacular of the four players and it was largely due to him that the match resuked as it did. His overhead strokes were de fensive, but at least rellable while his volleying Was extremely good. Gosano was patchy throughout improved enormously after the second set had been saved.

DISAPPOINTING SEMI-FINAL
Portuguese Pair Win At Will
Very disappointing from the spectators point of view was last evening's semi-final match in the mixed doubles badminton cham* pionship of the Colony played at King's College between M. A. Oliveira-Miss M. Silva and S. A. Gray-Miss A. Mackenzie.

Oliveira and Miss Silva caught their opponents on the hop and pro- eceded to dust the floor with them to the tune of 15-1, 15-2.
The match was
before any body had much chance of realising It had started. The losers could do nothing
right. Gray, apparently troubled by the speed of the shuttle, constantly cleared the baseline in the first game in faultless attempts to keep Olivelea at the rear of, the court, and throughout the match he often ap- Suued to be in two minds as to the
shot he should play, When essay something it was to put the "bird" up for Miss Silva and her partner to smash.
