Bimbi Ablong's veteran Saint Joseph's will again be the big draw in this week's softball card as they are starred in tomorrow's main at- traction at 11.30 a.m. against the South China contingent.

ANNUAL TAPAN'S GAME IS TODAY'S MAIN RUGGER ATTRACTION

By "PAK LO”.

There is a break in the Hexangular Tournament this afternoon, and instead of the usual week-end games we have the annual fixture known as the "Taipan's Game." This is always between the Commander British Forces XV and a XV representing a well-known local Taipan, invariably, of course, one who takes an interest in local rugby, and surely none better could have been asked to do the honours this afternoon than the Hon. Michael W. Turner.
