FIRST DIVISION LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP RACE ENTERS SECOND ROUND

By "THE ZOMBIE"

The First Division Cricket League begins its second round of matches this afternoon with a debit balance of seven postponed matches and the race for Championship honours narrowed down to a field of three

Scorpions, Optimists and Kowloon Cricket Club.

.

RAF, Army and Recreio are the closest challengers and are still within pos-. sible reach of the League tille, although it seems very likely at this stage that the Championship will be fought out finally between KCC and the Scorpions.

The Second Division, which will conclude its first round on December 13. sees HAF well at the of the League table,

The Recreio cricketers are not) all back from the Defence Force camp yet, and their match with the Scorpions will not take place this afternoon.

The other First Division matches will be David. versus Golluth affairs, with the excep- tion perhaps of the CCC-Army match at Happy Valley where Army, though favoured to win, will have to be on their toes the whole time.

HOW

Planning Is Essential

By HORACE LINDRUM (World Professional Snooker Champion)

One of the great scrots of snooker is to know how to get the colours on their own spots as quickly as possible after. they have been scattered. But to do this you must be able to plan your game as far ahead" as possible. You may say to yourself: "These diagrams of Lindrum's

too difficult." This may be cor rect if you are not prepared to think and plan your own campaign of attack.

WEEK-END

HOCKEY

By "STICKS"

In the Men's "A" Division of the Hockey League, the Thunderbolts are given a chance to prove their worth in their match against Army "A" tomorrow. They will have to field a tip-top team to win even one point off the unbeaten Army vide,

⚫ Spinks started the rot by claiming Kingsford's wicket with a well pitched ball, a shorter than length ball pitched Flightly off the leg stump.

The bowlers seemed to be of one mind that this was the type of ball that would get his with. ket and kept on sending down one after another, Spinks suc- ceeding to tempting him to that fatal glance which was this time held by the wicketkeeper.

Kettlewell was a little

The Optimists, however, once again showed their batting power as Rowe and Macpherson settled down to steady batting and accelerated their rate of scoring as they got set.

As usual Farmer-Wright, and De Cruz will be in the Ariny forward line, with' Bowell at centes-half and the very reliable Batley in goal. The Thunder is bolts need more understanding between their forwards und half-line, it thes are coals.
