Interport Cricket Selectors Spring No Surprises

By “RECORDER”

Cricket

The Hongkong X1 to meet the Malayan Association XI in the "Interport" match at Chater Rond on November 26, 27 and 28 was selected yesterday after the two-day trial at the HKCC and no real surprises were sprung on local cricket followers,

The two trial matches apparently decided the selectors in favour of Ft Sgt. N. Welch of the RAF as the wicket. keeper and of Bob Bell of KCV and Cpl. Mike Birley of the RAF as the two bowlers to come into the team on their bowling alone. On current form, they were the most logical selections.

Since the Helsinki Olympic Games the Russian advance in athletics has been phenomenal. Only the United States of America could now beat them in an international match, and, if you put the men and women to- gether, the odds would be in favour of the Soviet Union.

But this is only the beginning. The Russians will not rest until they have men of world class in every event,

REST 4, COMBINED SERVICES

Rest Won Handsomely Without Having To Show Anything Exceptional

Says I M. MacTAVISH

One of the brightest features of the recent British Forces Tattoo at Caroline Hill was the uncanny display by the men of the RAF Regiment of Malaya. Showing an advanced sense of timing and co-ordination they achieved much ... and all without a single order being given. What a great pity their Service colleagues in the Poppy Day Charity Match at the Club Stadium last night could not have taken a silent leaf out of their book !!!

Here we had the complete antithesis, it seemed that half the team was giving orders and shouting instructions .... but how little was achieved. Morris and Toth spent so much of their time directing the operations of everyone else, and ench other, that they had little time-or wind-loft for getting on with the game.
