Pentangular Tournament Starts This Afternoon

LO"

The first round of the Pentangular Tournament will be played this afternoon on the Club ground at Happy Valley, commencing at 3.00 p.m. with a game between the Club and the Navy, to be followed at 4.15 p.m. by another between the Army and the RAF.

First a few words of explanation about the Tournament. There are five teams entered-hence the name. These are the Army, last season's winners of the Tourna- ment, the Club, the Navy, the RAP and the Police, There are two rounds, and in each round every team plays every other team once, The winner is, naturally, the team which over the two rounds amasses the greatest number of wins.

COLLEENS AND WAHOOS BRITISH

CLASH TOMORROW

Pandas Play The Athletics

After weeks of dull league matches, softball fans will be treated to thrilling games this Sunday. In the Ladies' League, the Pennant holding Colleens 'A' will clash with ex-champion Wahoos 'A' in the morning and in the "A" League the powerful Pandas squad will battle the strong Chinese Athletic Association team in the afternoon.

The red-shirted Colleens do not seem to hit well this year. Only Diana Pires, Benita Remedios, Dolly Norman, Sally Sun and Leona Marques have shown that they are still in form. The rest have failed so far to display any impressive batting form.
