LAST EVENING University "A" Almost Sure Of "A" Division
Two results in last night's Badminton League programme are
of vital importance. In the "A" Division, the victory of University "A" over the Club de Recreio has put them in an almost unassail- able position to retain the championship, but they still have to play the Chinese Y.M.C.A. twice.
In the "B" Division, St. John's vanquished Kowloon Tong "A"- result beneficial to St. Andrew's "A" who now remain the only tenni in ihla division to have been beaten once. St. John's, Kowloon Tong "A" and
Wah, Chun
St. Andrew's greatest rivals, have all been beaten twice.
The other teams in the section are out of the running for the champion- ship.
