COMPETITORS ALL KEYED UP

(By "Surfer")

Surfboard paddling locks like coming into its own in Hongkong this week. The provious attempt publicly! to popularise this sport was not ultogether a rousing Buccess, due to adverse conditions. But on Sunday the first real champion ship meeting of local surf- hoardera, with the calm waters of Causeway Bay na its venuo, Is assured of success.

FULL PROGRAMME..

Here is the full programme for Sunday-afternoon!

Men's Open Half Milo Men's Over 30, 100 yards Ladies' Open 100 yards Men's Open 100 yards Boys' 100 yards

Ladies' 440 yards. Relay lace Men's 110 yards Team Race

The V.R.C. ladies team for the rolay race will be: Miss Doris Hunt, Miss Betty Pestonj, Miss Marie da Roza and Mrs. J. Mac- Malon.

The V.R.C. are entering two teams for the Men's Team Race, which will be comprised. na .follows:

1st team:-E. Paget, W. Law- renee, W. Butt and L. Roza- Porofra.

Tanner, R. team:-W. Endl Maynard, E. Lammert and L. Soares.

THE BIG EVENT.

The big event of the pro- gramme is the half mile open. Although none of the competi- tors have been clocked over the full distance, times which have boon, recorded are within ten seconds of what the estimated best fimo will be on Sunday.

For Instance Ted. Pagot has akimmed through the water in his practices for approximately half n milo in 6 minutes 27 seconds.

Dick Mayuard has covered the anmo course in 0.23, whilst Bill Butt has returned 6.25.

Lionel Roza-Pereira, paddling a strange board, has not yet been Elmed, but he has shown equal 'stamina and speed over the dis- fance to that of Paget and Butt...

TWO DIFFERENT STYLES.

In view of this, the man who is in the boat physical condition dlands the batter chance of win- ming. None the less it is reason-

able to regard Pagot, Roza- Poroira, Dick Maynard and Butt as the chief contcatants. They are all fast starters, and this, in spite of another schood of thought, fa a distinct advantago.

THE PROSPECTS

(By "Veritas"),

With a 100 per cent. record from three matches putting- them firmly at the top of the table, there are not a few foot- ball fans willing to back that Lincolns for senfor league hon- ours this year.

Personally 1 feel it is too pre- mature to form any convictions in this direction. Firstly the Lin. coins have to prove their stability. How often in the past have teams of the calibre of the Lincolns shown amazingly good form at the start of, the season and then fallen to plecos against sides whom they should have wiped up?

This, perhaps, is one of the most distinctive features of the Chinese and European teams in Hongkong. If South China play a couple of really bad games in a season the matter is serious enough to call for concern among their supporters. With the European clubs, however, one looks in vain for any real consistency of form and from week to week they go in danger of defent.

Furthermore it has to be re-

By Bully-Off” THE decision of the Mamink Tournament Executive Com- mitten to return the Mamak Shield to the donor came as rather a sur- prise to me, and I consider it questionable policy on their part. to have resorted to such a move. I see no reason whatever why the trophy should not have been ometally handed over to the Radio Sports Club, the presont holders. for them to retain until auch time jas permission is or is not, granted. by the Powers That Be for trophy competitions to bo played in the Colony,

seems as though the M.H.T. committee, now they are de-. prived of having the trophy in no interest competition, have whatever in the fate of the shield. It has been suggested that the

reason the shield was handed back was because the committee did not care to shoulder the responsibility. of having such a valuable plece of plate in their possession or to bear the cost of insuring it. If that is the case their action is scarcely complimentary to Mr. Mamak, the donor.
