UNIVERSITY “B” OUTCLASSED AT BADMINTON

KING'S COLLEGE

TRIUMPH

LAST NIGHT'S MATCHES

Even with the assistance of C. H. the first Soon, who played for time this season, the University "B" team were unable to make an impression in the “A” Division of the Men's Doubles Badminton League, being defeated by 7 games to 2 by King's College.

Club de Recreio "A" maintained ther 100 per cent. record by beating St. Andrew's "B" by a similar mar- - gin.

Only one match in the “B” Divi- sion was decided last night, when St. John's just managed to scrape through with the points, beating St. Andrew's by the odd game in nine.

Recreio "B" were unable to field a team against University “A” and conceded the latter a walk-over in their "A" Division encounter.

The folllowing were last night's results:
