CLUB AND KOWLOON NEED BOWLERS Enthusiasm Shown By KAI TAK BEAT BIDWELL'S XV H.M. Forces: Veterans"
Enjoyable Match
CRICKET WAS NOT vory much in evidence on Saturday last as the only senior Division teams who had a game were the Club and K.C.C. Thoy played at the Kowloon Club's ground, and the game was very typical of the two sides, as neither has much bowling-dangerous bowling that is- while each possesses several men who are quite capable of knocking up a big score.
The Club batted first, and after his rather a long period of small scores Ride got going and ran up a useful score of 64. Carey opened with him, but was bowled by Baxter after scoring 17. Then Alec Pearce took charge and the Club were able to declare at 179 for four wickets. The K.C.C. attack suffered a great deal from the absence of Lloyd, as both Anderson and Robert Lee were rather expensive. The fact that B.D. Lay cannot turn out regularly for them is unfortunate as he makes a much needed addition to the attack.
The Club bowlers were in much! the same position as those of K.C.C. Neither Dow nor Charl-} ton could do anything, and John | Pearce was heavily punisher!. Anderson (57) played an excel- lent knock, and E. F. Fincher, who is in form at present, knocked up 38. Kowloon, however, failed to get the runs. ZIFIC were twenty-two behind when slumps were drawn. They had had only two overs less than the Club batsmen. I was rather surprised to see that Carey was not given chance with the ball,

Excellent Shooting In Belilios Shield Competition
Game Marred By Infringments Of Elementary Rules
(By "Fly-half")
KAI TAK defeated Mr. H. D. Bidwell's fifteen by six points (a try and a penalty goal) to 3 points (a try) in a poor game on the Club ground yesterday. Both sides were guilty of infringe- ments of the elementary rules, with throwing forward the most frequent.
Some players seemed to have had in their heads that it was essential to get rid of the ball just anyhow on being tackled. Fierce foot rushes by the Air Force forwards kept Bidwell's team mostly on the defensive.
Bidwell at scrum half received close attention and frequently had the ball dribbled away from in front of him before he could get his hands On it.. Ragged heeling by the second and third row forwards, and quickness on the Emark of the Kai Tak wing forwards
was responsible for this.
Both packs were poor in their play with the Kai Tak elght the only
THE LAST SUNDAY SHOOT of the year was very well attended, a total of 122 members taking part. The programme was arranged by the members of the Hong-Army kong Police Reserve Rifle Club, who presented the prizes. The weather was glorious, with a somewhat puzzling wind to make things interesting.
