Though it may be a slight exaggeration to say that -U. M. Omar defeated R. Basa, A. E. Coates, J. S. Landolt and C. S. Rosselet in the last of the quarter-final matches in the rinks championship, there is no gainsaying the fact that he was primarily responsible for the defeat of the champions on the Kowloon F.C. green yesterday by 22-13.
Playing one of his best games for a considerable time, "U.M." carried his two younger brothers and B. W. Bradbury to the semi- finals. His was the dominating personality on the green and but for him the title-holders might have scraped through in view of the brilliant form of Landolt who, on numerous occasions, changed adverse positions into his aide's favour, only to see his splendid work nullified by U. M. Omar.
