CHIEF FEATURE OF THE week's badminton was King's College the sensational defeat of Recreio "A" in the "A" Division on Monday.

This result was really incredible to those who saw these st. Andrew's teams in action last season. I am told that there was no element of fluke in the success of Chinese "Y." They were just too good and completely outplayed their King's Park rivals.

An extraordinary fact is that the think, is that they have reached the line-up of both teams

been improving.
Recreio appear to have become stagnant as far as their badminton is concerned. When badminton Arst started here, they were always one of the most formidable combinations in the Colony. The majority of the players who represented them then, represent them now.
I do not suggest that these players have fallen away, the answer,

There are several identical cases in the League, St. Andrew's being a good example. Whereas, the team, however, have no reserves upon which to draw, Recreio have unlimited resources and I feel that their best course, if they wish to keep the club in its position of eminence in the badminton world, is to utilise this season for team-building.
They would do well to encourage the younger members of the club and train them to carry their co- loura with the distinction of their predecessors, now approaching the veteran stage.

an interesting encounter.
Difference in standard between "A" and "B" Divisions appeared to be illustrated in the 9-nil defeat of Chung Wah, last year's "B" winners, at the hands of Chinese "Y,"
The
latter's subsequent defeat of Recreio, however, changes the aspect somewhat. Until Chung Wah meet one of the other senior teams, opinion must be reserved.
KING'S CONSOLIDATING" In "B" Division, King's have gone serenely along winning all their matches with something to spare, while St. Teresa's, after a shaky start, have settled down to score vic- tories over Kowloon Tong and St. Andrew's.
Until they strengthen their third string, however, I cannot see them extending auch teams as Recreio or St. John's.
There has been little progress in Mixed Division as yet. Recreio's team is the same as last season's and they will again be strongest challengers to University, the champions, notwith- standing the fact that St. John's will be assisted by Henry and Eardley, and have another good pair in David Kwok and Mrs. Peggy
Wilson.
