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”.
Lust evening at the Eu Tong-sen Gymnasium, Yong and ilul again annexed three games against the formidable Club de Recreio "A" and thus made victory for the under- #ruduntes almost certain. The University Inds got off to Bying start, winning all three matches !n the first round, but the issue was not decided until the last round although they finally won by 0-3,
A team less determined than the Recrelo "A" might have cracked up during after the first three gumes which they saw one pair after an- other humbled by the University
stalwarts; but to the credit of the King's Park players," they never gave up and nearly took the issue to the last game of the evening. Actually it M.A. Oliveira and J.J. Remedios had been able to clinch their gume against Yong und Hiu when they were leading by 18-0 the result of the whole encounter would have de- pended on the last game between H. A. Barros and H.A. Alves, of the Recrelo, und T. F. Yong and K. S. Liew. The latter pole finally won. but if the points had depended on the outcome the Recreio pair might - have risen to the occasion..
HIGH STANDARD
As only to be expected when two such strong teams meet, play was of a high standard throughout. The undergraduates held the advantage because in Hul and Yong they had a pair capable of winning three games --a realisation very heartening to the side.

latter pair should not have lost as badly as they did. Chan's judgment at the bacle court was at fault and he tools many shots which were going outside. He would do better next time to listen when his partner shouts,
When Remedios and Oliveira led Yong und Hul by 18-0 a victory for the Portuguese side was not beyond the bounds of possibility. Fighting back with rare pluck, however, Yong and 1u! reduced the lead and

University's victory has now placed three teams on level terms. The championship is now very open and it will be a fight to the finish between. University "A", Recreto "A" and the Chinese Y.M.C.A.

LOCAL BATTING SEEMS TO HAVE IMPROVED.
I managed to see a little of th reo games in the local cricket played on Saturday last, but it was not at all” a pleasant day. Fielding. I 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 his form and scored 08 against some not very impressive bowling.
Whitmarsh had to do most of the work himself and took three for 52. Nove apparently finished off the Innings by taking a couple of wickets In 5 balls for no runs, but I think the batsmen were in a hurry. The Navy started badly and found Robert Lee in his best form. Ogle 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 snick it 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 flt, I trust he is better now.

NO PERMANENT SEAT It is understood, however, that the Club feel that there is no justi- flable reason for a change which converts a right to a seat on the controlling body into the hazarit of an elective change. It is con- sidered that the Club, by virtuo of its prominent position in the boxing world, should continue to have a permanent seat on
the Board of Control.
Mr. Charles F. Donmall, secretary of the Board of Control, stated that the board had not yet received Mr. Harding's resignation.
"With reference to the change in rule," added Mr. Donmall, "the National Sporting Club used to have a permanent seat on the board. Now they are in the same position. as any other promoting body."
