JOHNNY POMEROY AND EDUARDO MARQUEZ-LIM REACH SEMI-FINALS

By “ARGONAUT”

Top-seeded Johnny Pomeroy, Jr. and Eduardo Marquez-Lim yester- day qualified for the semi-finals of the Colony Men's Junior Singles Badminton Championship as the tournament continued to make further progress at Recreio.

She is Mrs Irene Cockell, whose husband, Don, by beating Roland LaStarza earned for himself the mixed blessings of the roughest but richest assignment in sport-a fight for the championship of the world with Rocky Marciano, the Buster from Brockton, Mass.
