THE CHINA MAIL TUESDAY, JANUARY 13, 1953.

Narrow Victories For The Favourites In Senior Division Matches

By "ARGONAUT

Two thrilling Men's "A" Division matches were pinyed off yesterday as the Colony Badminton League got into full swing again after the holiday break.

Both Chinese YMCA, the holders, and University, this year's leading con. tenders, scored their second straight wins, but not without some anxious moments in the process.

Chinese YMCA, who without two of their, reguler players, W. F. Foo and D. C. Lau, were extremely lucky to get off with a 5-4 victory over Recreio vastly improved squad.

Says JAMES PARK

Some idea of the strength of the French 1953 challenge is found in the entries for the Coronation Cup at Epsom and Gold Cup at Ascul. Of the 45 in the Coronation Cup 17 are trained in France. There are 48 for the Gold Cup, with 20 trained across the Channel.

REFEREE PARAGON IN AN ORDEAL

By IVAN SHARPE

The full story has reached me of the triumph after ordeal, literally of fire and water, of a British referee (Mr H. Dykes, of Manchester) in the League Championship- doclding match in Argentina, which has provided the year's most senzational football scenes and pictures, And this, mark you, in the country where the FA team will be touring next summer!
