BEST SCHOOLBOYS' SINGLES MATCH SO FAR SEEN IN CRAIGENGOWER SERIES By "ARGONAUT”

As expected several interesting gamen were seen when the Colony hall last Badminton Open Championships continued at Craigengower night. Four of the seven matches played went to the full distance of three sets, and, although no upsets were recorded, thrills aplenty kept the capacity crowd on their toes for the major period of the evening.

In the best Schoolboys' Singles match seen so far, U Sol-ching of St Stephen's gave a grand exhibition of aggressive singles play to eliminate Wong Chong-yee of Diocesan Boys' School by 17-14 and 15-5.

The St Stephen's boy, who hails from Bangkok, set a fast pace from the first service, and with powerful smashes and hard strokes to the baseline ran to a lead of 0-3.

Countering with net drops and ross court smashes, Wong enught up at 12-12 and went en tu leud 14-12, only to find Win a final burst of hurricane amashes take five

A Mediocre Duel HUNT'S SHERRY

Says "HANLINCODE”

In the final Interport match played on the Club Ground, Happy Valley, on Saturday, the large number of spectators present witnessed a very mediocre duel. It was very disappointing in view of the fact that the previous two matches had been such good, even games. One got the impression that the Singapore team were tired men, and wonders if this was due to hospitality or the other two very hard games they had played. Perhaps it was a combination of both.

on

The Singapore pack lacked the fire and dash they had previously displayed and when they did feed Hart, he seemed unable to decide which way to pass until it was too late to make any effective move at all: Harrison, who moved from the centre to standoff very early in the game, did not really get moving or seem able to co-ordinate his threes. He also left his shooting boots behind in the billet, which was a great pity, because he had some really good chances to lessen the margin.
