ARMY PLAY OPTIMISTS AT SOOKUNPOO THIS AFTERNOON
By "THE ZOMBIE"
Army and Scorpions this afternoon resume their rivalry in the race for Cricket League honours, after having postponed their match against each other last week.
League-leading Army are at home to the Optimists in what should be the best match of the week, while second-placed Scorpions will entertain the giant-killing Cralgengower XI.

One of the strangest gatherings in modern sport took place in Sussex last week-end. There sat down to lunet boxing manager John Simpson and heavyweights Dori Cockell, Jack Gardner and Johnny Williams.
What was so strange about it? Well, Cockell is the reigning Champion and the other two, both former holders of the title, are bem on recapturing it. And, to add to the strangeness, Coekell and Gardner are stablemates under the managership of Mr Simpson!

Five Exhibition Matches For Malayan Shuttlers
By "ARGONAUT"
The Hongkong Badminton Association will not take sides In the controversy between Wong Peng-soon and his touring team and the Badminton Association of Malays and will adopt an attitude of not being in a position to judge who is in the right or who in the wrong.
In the absence of any official communication from the Malayan Badminton Association, the HKBA fools that it cannot but treat Wong and his team as guesta again, and will accede to the request by the Mayflower team to stage five exhibition matches in Hongkong.
