OPEN RINKS - FINAL

UNDERDOGS' THREE YEAR

REIGN ENDS AS SADICK'S FOUR WIN

By "TOUCHER”

The Indian Recreation Club four of A. H. Seemin, A. R. A. Raliman, M. B. Hassan and O. R. Sadick yesterday put an end to the underdogs' three-year reign in the Colony Open Rinks Championship by defeating Recreio's Gussie Rozario, C. Gonsalves, Roy Silva-Netto and Tony Lopes in this year's final by 20-16.

The winters were served by two members of the 1952 champion combination ---A. R. A. Rahman and M. B. Hassan--and were strong pre-match favourites over the Recreio four of novices Rosario and Gonsalves, pre-war bowler Silva-Netto and first-time skip Tony Lopes,

Hodorov's Taunting Ghost Will Haunt Hongkong's Footballers For Years

Says I. M. MacTAVISH

What a magnificent opening to the new season this game provided. Thirty thousand roaring fans cannot be wrong and there is no doubt at all they got their money's worth on this occasion.

Hongkong came within a hair's breadth of producing a real live international upset... and if they had done so it would have been no more than their performance deserved. They scorned the glittering repulation of the opposition. They made the arch critics eat their ill conceived prophecies that Israel would make our boys look like selling platers: they shattered the veneer of casual confidence with which the visitors started the game and their brilliant interchanging of position and uncanny Inter-passing soon had the pahic flags flying in the Israel rear lines.
