There are few more popular athletes in Army sport- ing circles than this unassuming all rounder who excels al several games. He would almost certainly be in the Army soccer line-up if it had not been foreseen that he would almost certainly be going to Singapore as one of the Land Forces representatives in the FARELF Swimming and Water Polo Championships.

ANOTHER SOLO WIN BY DECK AND ANOTHER REME TEAM VICTORY

By "NTACA”

Another solo win for Beck and another team victory for the REME CC boys. That was the bare result of Sunday's Pegasus CC Circuit Race, held over fifteen laps of the 3.1 miles RAF Sek Kong Circuit, a result which has been duplicated many times already this season. But the bare announcement of winning names can give no idea of the drama and excitement that packed the latter stages of the race!

Duties in connection with the Battle of Britain celebrations kept the bulk of the Sai Wan Cygnets and Exiles CC riders away, and only nineteen riders faced the starters, Four full teams were represented, REME CC, 7 Hussars, SCAA and the Essex, with the "Horses" boys being favourites to take the ' "Pegasus” Cup away from the REME team.
