BERWICK BOXERS GIVE

A. B. FOLEY A PRIME FAVOURITE

WITH the arrival of H.M.S. Berwick comes a con-

challenges for many of the Hongkong boxing titles.

Amongst them are A. B. Fraggott, A. B. Foley and Stoker Lake, and whilst in Singapore, these men, to- gether with other Berwick representatives met the Malayan Command in a boxing tournament from which they emerged easy winners, conceding but one event in the whole programme,

The following account from the Straits Times indicates the current form of the new arrivals in Hongkong.

on one occaalon by an expert who said: "Cortainly. Let a man hold the ropes with both hands if he fikes. He has leas to hit with."

Thus it was that, though the meeting had not been extensively advertised, civilians turned up in strength at the S. V. C. Drill Hall on Saturday evening to watch the Malaya Command representatives.

WELTERWEIGHTS.

Columbia's gridiron stalwarte must have taken a spanking at the hands of Brown footballers. At lomat, that's the illusion created by this picture, which was scapped as the Columbia line wavered before a fiores Brown onslaught and Fullback Gammino (third from left) pounded his way through the Lions' defence for a short gain. Brown's 7-to-6 victory, achieved by a magnificent 80-yard march during the last ten minutes of play at Baker Field, New York, kept intact the Bruins' racord of no de feats for the senson and shattered Columbia's hopes for an unbeaten gridiron year.

CLUB AND NAVY PLAY A DRAWN MATCH

Triangular Tournament

By "Bully-Off"

One of the best games of the acnson was played at the Royal Naval Ground, King's Park, yostor- day when the Hongkong Club was opposed to the Navy in the first game of the Army, Navy and Club triangular tournament which has taken the place of the Sim Shield content. Play was fast and in- teresting throughout and the re- sult, a draw of two goals cach, was a fair reflection of the run of play.

Notable

absentecos from the Club side were Owen Hughes and A. T. Lay who were re-placed by F. Lammert and J. T. Tetley. Lammort played a sterling game on the right showing a good turn of speed and was a constnut menace. Divott and Williams were inclined to hang on to the ball a little too long.
