Burling And Rakusen Nearly Surprise Omar Brothers
Alves And Ribeiro Beat
Club-Mates 21-14
OPEN PAIRS SEMI-FINALS
(By "Tinker")
THOUGH the Omar brothers upheld general expectations in beating W. J. Burling and M. N. Rakuson in the semi-finals of the Opon Pairs semi- finals at the Kowloon Bowling Green Club yester- day, the Civil Service C.C. pair confounded critics by the splendid opposition they provided before being eliminated 21-18.
The second semi-final also went according to "book", and H. A. Alves and F. V. V. Ribeiro entered the final at the expense of L. J. Silva and J. F. V. Ribeiro by 21-14.
These two pairs will now meet in the final which will be played at the Kowloon Football Club next Sunday at 3.30 p.m.

POLICE UNLUCKY TAYLOR, for the most part, steady in the Potter gual. It is true that an error on his part cost the Police the game, but that could only be conceded unfortunate. He held his charge intact for the greater partion of the game and only failed in the last ten minutes.
The backs and balves showed im- proved form. Parker and Blackburn put up a soild front in the last line, while Pope, Gough and Britt were a half-back trio that not only held the Navy's attack, but were continually backing up their forwards with ex- cellently placed passes.
