The Pakistan Cricket Board of Control have done something to be greatly commended in banning the pre- sentation of prizes to Pakistan cricketers during the current Tests against India,

That is the view of a large number of cricket fans In this country, who deplore the increasing system of offer- ing prizes, monetary or otherwise, for outstanding feats with but or ball. It obtains during the England-Australla matches where outstanding feats are recognised by gifta.

VALLEY

Now that the excitement of the last two days has died down, rugger returns to its more normal status with two more Pentangular matches scheduled for this afternoon.

As announced previously in this column there has been a switch in the fixture list, and this afternoon the Navy and the RAF meet at 3.00 p.m., whilst at 4.15 p.m. the Army clashes with the Club. Both of these games will take place on the Club ground in Happy Valley.

The Club "B" will also be seen in action against a XV representing all the REME units In the Colony. The encounter will take place at Sookunpoo at 3.30 p.m. This should be a fairly good game, but the REME with the much stronger sidó, are ex-ho pits his pected to win fairly comfortably.

Without doubt the game with the most interest inherent in it is the Club versus Army one, at 4.15 p.m.

If the Army succeed in run- ning off the field the viciora after today, they will have won ike Pentangular Tournament six out of after playing only eight matches.

Recreio Unlikely To Repeat Their Victory Over The Scorpions

By "GOOGLY”

Recreio will have the Scorpions as their guests this afternoon in the First Division of the Cricket League and though the King's Park team won convincingly In the first round at Chater Road I fancy the Scorpions, fresh from their victory over Army North, to take all four points this Ume.

Craigengower will be no pushover for Army South at the Valley, but the soldiers are still likely to collect all four points despite their defeat last week at the hands of the Optimists.
