BADMINTON CHAMPIONSHIP BECOMES VERY OPEN
UNIVERSITY "A" OVERCOMES RECREIO TEAM
WINNERS GET OFF TO A FLYING START
(By "Abo")
So long as K. L. Yong and P. K. Hui are given moderate sup- port by their colleagues, the University "A" will not lose many matches in the senior division of the Men's Badminton League this season. In every game played by the undergraduates so far, these two have given the side three games and have been chiefly res. ponsible for the success of the University "A”. ·
Last event at the Eu Tong-son Gymnasium, Yong and Hui agalif antiexed three games against the formidable Club de Recreio "A" and thus made victory for the under- graduates almost certain. The University lads got off to a dying In sturt. winning all three malehes the first round, but the issue was not decided until the last round although they finally won by 0-3.

LOCAL BATTING SEEMS TO HAVE IMPROVED
I
I managed to see a tito of threo games in the local erleket played on Saturday last, but it was not at all a pleasant day. Fielding thought must have been very unpleasant, and watching, was definitely chilly! The Kowloon Cricket Club, who seemed to have been without E. F. Fincher. had very little trouble with the Navy except from the point of view of time. Anderson has returned to hits form and scored 68 against some not very impressive bowling.
Whitmarsh had to do most of the work himself and took three for 52. Nave apparently flashed off the innings by taking couple of wickets in 3 balls for no runs, but I think the batsmen were in a hurry. The Navy started badly and found Robert Lec in his best form. Ogic failed to come off and, after Skelton and Paxton went, it was merely a question as to whether anyone could stop long enough with Whitmarsh to save the game. Lee's off-breaks, however, were too good and on more than one occasion he got the batsman to play outside an off ball and sniele li on to his wicket. I think if Whitmarsh had been able to go in earlier he might have saved the game but he had a great deal of bowling to do and was not feeling very ft. "I trust he Is better now.
