ARMY SPORTS

PARADE

We welcome an old friend back to the Spot of Honour at the Top of the Sports Parade this week in the person of Lieut Keith Burch of the 1st Bn Essex Regiment. Once again this accomplished athlete has hit the headlines with another first-class track performance.

At Caroline Hill on Sunday morning he turned in a time of 8 minutes 59.0 seconds in the 3,000 Metres run to break the Colony record by 26,3 seconds and at the same time become the first man in Hongkong to run the dis- lance inside 9 minutes.

New York, Feb. 28.

The poor performances of American players at the hands of the Scandinavian visitors during the recent American covered court Championships, have failed to alarm tennis critics here, who prophesy that American pinyers will rapidly improve this year and become Aus- tralia's greatest danger in the Davis Cup.

The remarkable victory of Sweden's Ulf Schmidt over his superior tennis playing compatriot Sven Davidson in Sunday's final of the Championships added irony to the Art Larsen, inglorious defent of Americans Vic Seixas, Gf Shea and Sum Glammalva; who faded out in earlier rounds of the singles.

TEST SERIES AGAINST MCC “A”

Peshawar, Feb. 28.

Pakistan, who drew a full Test series in England two years ago, made sure of winning the rubber th the current unofficial Tesis against the MCC "A" team today when they won the third match here by soven wickets.

The First Test was drawn, Paklatan won the second by an innings and ten runs and only one more of the four- gume series remains to be played.
