KMB FAIL TO CONQUER A GALLANT BAND OF CROCKED AND CRIPPLED TIGERS

By I. M. MacTAVISH

"How small can big he"? ... is the rather cryptic question I feel justified in asking after watching this game which was played at Caroline Hill yesterday.

A large and in view of the chilly weather, a brave crowd turned up to see These two lop teams in action. For their pains, their enthusiasm, and their loyalty they got 15 minutes of high class soccer played at a cracking pace by Sing Tao's lively youngsters, and 75 minutes of no contest stuff that had the fans trooping out in their hundreds long before the final whistle.

SATURDAY'S ATHLETICS

Were

Records Expected, But Three Went

By "RECORDER”

Two records were expected to go in Saturday's special Invitational events at the University Championships at Pokfulam, but three went. It was generally taken for granted that Keith Burch would break the Colony Mile record if Peter Boorman was running with him.

Boorman did nearly all the pacing in this great race and passed the 1,500 Metres mark in the new Colony record time of 4 minutes 12.4 seconds. Some 30 yards later Burch burst through and carried on to the tape to cover the last 1191⁄2 yards in an amazing 17.4 seconds, to record 4:30.2 for a new Colony Mile record.

Navy Go Down Against CAA, But Only After A Great Struggle

By "TOUCHWOOD”

To the small crowd who watched the Royal Navy versus Chinese Athletic First Division League encounter yesterday there must have been no doubt as to the sterling fighting quality of the Navy who, despite trailing all the way-2-0 interval score-mastered a sufficient burst of speed to make it an uphill task for their opponents who won 4-2 at the Royal Navy ground.

The Navy's couldn't-care-less attitude, irrespective of the number of goals score against them, made them a worth while side to watch and those who braved the elements were amply rewarded with a clean, robust and thrilling match.
