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 evening at the Eu Tong-sen Gymnasium, Yong and Hut again annexed three games against the formidable Club de Recreio "A" and thus made victory for the under- graduates nimost certain. The University lads got off to a Rying start, winning all three matches in the first round, but the issue was not decided until the last round although they finally won by 6-3.
the
A team less determined than the Recreio "A" might have cracked up during after the first three games which they saw one pair after an- other humbled by
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 if M.A. Oliveiro and J.J. Remedios had been able to clinch their game against Yong and Hu when they. were leading hy 18-0 the result of the whole encounter would have de- pended on the last game between 1. A. Barros and H.A. Alves, of the Recreio, and T. F. Yong and K. S. Llew. The latter pair inally won, but if the points had depended on the outcome the Recreio pale might have risen to the occasion.
HIGH STANDARD
As only to be expected when two such strong teams meet, play was of high standard throughout. The undergraduates held the advantage because in Hut and Yong they had a pair capable of winning three games a realisation very heartening to the side.
lutter pair should not have lost as badly as they did. Chan's judgment at the back court was at fault and he took many shots which were going outside. He would do better next time to listen when his partner shouts.
When Remedios and Oliveira led Yong and Hui by 18-0 n victory for the Portuguese side was not beyond the bounds of possibility. Fighting back with rare pluck, however, reduced the lead Yong and Hui and actually led 19-18. After the game
me had been "setted," the undergraduates ran out at 24-20. had the Impression that if One Oliveira and Remedios had continued their aggressive tactics they would have won, because their opponents could find no counter to their smashies early on.
University's victory has now placed three teams on level terms. The championship is now very open and will be a fight to the finish between University "A", Recreio "A" and the Chinese Y.M.C.A.

Cricket Notes
Senior Ties Reviewed By 'R. Abbit'
LOCAL BATTING SEEMS TO HAVE IMPROVED
I managed to see a little of three games in the local cricket played on Saturday last, but it was not at all a pleasant day. · Fletding thought must have been very unpleasant, and watching was defnitely, 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 18 against some not very impressive bowling.
in
Whitmarsh had to do most of the work himself and took three for 32. Nave apparently finished off the innings by taking a couple of wickets 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 falled to come off and, after Skelton and Paxton I went, It was merely a question as to whether anyone could stop long enough with Whitmarsh to save the gume. Lee's off-breaks, however, were too good and on more than one occasion he got the batsman to play outside an oft ball and snick it on to his wicket, I think It Whitmarsh had been able to go in carller he might have saved the game but he had a great deal of bowling to do and. was not feeling very fit. I trust he is better now.
ANOTHER ARMY DRAW
The Club did not start so Well ugainst the Army at Sookunpoo, but Owen-Hughes and Ride made useful A "split between the Boxing scores while J. L. Pearce and F. H. Board of Control, and the National Stokes did much more than numbers Sporting Club was revented lost and 10 are expected to do.

Hitherto the National Sporting Club have had the right to be repre- sented on the Southern branch. That right was lost recently by a change In the board's constitution, which meant that the N.SC. would in future have to submit their repre-
sentative for election.

NO PERMANENT SEAT
It is understood, however, that the Club feel that there is no justi- fiable reason for a change which converts a right to Beat on the controlling body into the hazard of an elective change. It is con- sidered that the Club, by virtue 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 permanent seat on the board. Now they are in the same position as any other promoting body."
