CHAMPIONS LINE UP

LEACH AND HAGUENAUER

HAVE SLEPT THEIR WAY BACK TO FORM

But Crosswinds Still Disturb Them

By "OBSERVER"

Reproducing some of their world championship form, the touring World Table-Tennis Champion, Johnny Leach, and his travelling com panion, French Champion Michel Haguenauer, trounced Hongkong's second stringers by fiue matches to nil in the second night's series of 'ex- hibition matches at the Southorn playground last evening. They had spent most of the day catching up on lost sleep.

Except in the Doubles, the local players were no match for the visiting cham- plona, who mowed them down with aystematic and relentless aggressive strokes.

Johnny Lench was seen in much better form than on the previous night, but despite this he told me that he was nowhere near his top form.

He attributed his inability to give of his best to the trying condition of play- ing on a court that was subjected to frequent gusts of wind.

"One of the worst conditions that we have come across on our tour" remark-

ed Lench. "It puts down our game by at least eight points."

"It is alright," he added, "if a player is content in just pushing the ball back.. but when he attempts to make a stroke, it is a differont story."

Problems

Have Yet To Be Solved

Says BILL EDRICH.

England's cricket problems have NOT auddenly been solved. And if you are one of the thousands of people who suddenly seem to have got it into their heads that they have, simply because our two youngsters-Peter May and Frank Lowson -came off so well in their first Test at Leeds, the sooner you come to earth the better.

I think many average followers of the game may have been led into this way of thinking by the number of jubilant opinions they have read from people. who should be able to look deeper and see further. But I have no room for this magic-wand stuff. I have always been a firm believer in facing facts-some. of them pretty nasty ones at times!
