PANDAS BECOME FIRST

LEAGUE

SUMMER WINNERS

PENNANT

By "GRANDSTAND"

The Pandas became the first title-holders of the Summer League when they annexed the Watson's Trophy with a convincing 10-0 shutout against the Overseas Chinese in the final playoff during the week.'

In spite of the fact that the Pandas trailed behind the Overseas as second best for the major part of the off-season circuit, their convincing victory, in which they outplayed their opponents in all departments of the game, classifies them as the better team.

Last week optimism was riding high in the Overseas camp with their one meet the unpredictable game lead over the Pandas, with both teams having to Ragg Mopps, but the position was deadlocked when the Overseas dropped their game 10-8 while the Pandas ran away with a 3-0 decision.

The First Millionaire

Four Legs With Four

By NIGEL GEE
