By “RECORDER”
Army South won a very useful four points in the First Division Cricket League match against the Royal Air Force at Kai Tak on Saturday in a game of ups and downs which the RAF were partly untucky to but fargely deserved to lose.
There is some minor confusion as to the exact League atandings at the moment, due to one or two matches hav- ing been played some time on a week day during the holiday period not having been reported, but to the best of our knowledge the League standings after Saturday's round are now as follows:

FIRST VICTORY
By "PAK LO”
With Army North leading by a comfortable eleven points (1 gual, 2 tries), the Police pack on Saturday afternoon suddenly came to life and, sweeping all before them in the last 15 minutes of the game, gave their backs sufficient chances to score 11 points (1 goal, 1 try, 1 penalty goal) to level the scores before the final whistle.
