TEST CAPTAINS MEET

TIGERS VERY NEARLY GOT AN UNEXPECTED DOSE OF THEIR OWN MEDICINE

By I. M. MacTAVISH

Just a week ago I was singing the praises of the Tigers who fought back against heavy odds and shattered the football world with a spectacu- lar 5-4 victory over South China.

This week I almost had to tell you the sad tale of the Tigers who very nearly lost their way in a bewildering soccer maze of their own making. At one stage of the game-in fact after a full bour had gone the Sing Tuo boys were comfortably in front with a clear three goals lead.

BOXING SHOW

McGRATH, WONG & LEGERTON STIMULATE REFLECTIONS

ON FRIDAY'S FISTICUFFS

BY OUR BOXING REPORTER

"It is impossible not to be thrilled by Edgar Wallace," said a popu lar catch phrase of a few years ago, and by the same sort of token I think it is right to say that "It is impossible not to be thrilled by a hectic boxing match."

The accuracy of the statement was clearly demonstrated in the cacophonous crescendo which greeted the pulsating serap between Gunner McGrath of the Army and AB Henry Wong of the Royal Navy when they met in the final Ear! Haig Fund Show last Friday.
