SOUTH CHINA A.A. ΤΟ ORGANISE ATHLETIC MEET
RACES OPEN TO ALL SECTIONS OF COMMUNITY A SPLENDID PROGRAMME OF TRACK AND FIELD EVENTS ARRANGED
(By "Abo")
One of the most common complaints amongst local sportsmen is that athletics have received so little attention in the Colony. The University, the Voluntoors, the Hongkong Area and various clubs in Hongkong hold annual sports meetings, but during the last ten years or so, no meetings have been organised which have been open to all sections of the community.
Time was when the Victoria Recreation Club held annual athletic meets, which were always very popular. But since the V.R.C. stopped organising these meetings, no other body has come forward to continue the good work.
This is a position which ta to be equipment, but the ground is cer- deplored. There should be a central amy big enough. body in Hongkong empowered to organise annual meetings open to all comers. With so many battalions

Surprise has been expressed in the past by notable athletes passing through Hongkong at the lack of athletic organisation here. I still re- member the time when Glenn Cun- ningham, Ralph Metcalfe and ather Hier famou
American athletes passed through Hongkong on their way to. Manlia for an exhibition. During their stay in the Colony, they wore quite willing to appear against local athletes but-although they were here during a whole week-end, nothing was done and a great opportunity for Iocal sportsmen to see these world-
action renowned athletes in mlased.
Association have decided to organise an athletic mesting open to all sec- tions of the community in Hongkong. Besides events for men, special open events will also be arranged for Jadics.
This open meeting will be held over two days, on 'December 24 and 20, Burling cach day at 10 am. Whether heats will be run depends on the number of entries received for the events.

Of course the chief reason why an Association has not been formed in Hongkong the lack of a ground which the Association could use to hold meetings.
The same difficulty does not arise now. The South China A.A. Stadłu at Caroline Hill is good enough for our purposes, and it in almost cer- tain arrangements could be made with the South China A.A. committed for the use of the sindlum and the paraphernalia to hold such a meet-

Lt. Manners Hits Five Fours And A Six In An Over From Longfield H.K.C.C. Badly Thrashed By Royal Navy On Saturday
There was an excellent game on the Club ground last Satur day between a weakish Club side and the Navy, and, the Club got one of the most conclusive beatings that they have had for a long time, thanks very largely to some bad batting on their part and some very good cricket by Manners who made a most delightful century.
I said at the beginning that the Club were rather a weak side, but when I come to look into the team it seems to me that there were only Dhree people playing who are not regular members of the first cloven. True, two of those places belonged

Here is the latest idea in socks. No need ever to bother again with suspenders. You just silp
on a pair of Tenova socks and they keep themselves up. The small band at the top with Lastex yarn in it does the trick, and the result -no drag, no tension, far more comfort, And every time you send your socks to the laundry the band goes with them. Tenova -
