DISAPPOINTING "DERBY" BADMINTON MATCH

RECREIO "A" SWAMP JUNIOR TEAM

STARTLING DIFFERENCE IN RELATIVE STRENGTH

(By "Veritas"),

'The casual spectator, with but limited op- portunities for watching the teams in action and making comparisons therefrom 'would probably have offered the opinion before the start of the Recreio "A" v. Recreio."B" men's doubles bad- minton league match last night that there was very little to choose between the relative streng- th of the sides.

Yet the match, revealed an almost unbelievablo, contrast. The Senior. Six won hands down, claiming eight of the nine games and scoring 181 64. It Was aces against

nothing less than a debaclo for the second string.

And the rosult was further om. phasised by the fact that H. A. Alves was absent from the winning team, Although this was somewhat mitigated hy the fact that neither P. M. Bilva nor Barros wero on duty for the tosers.

ONE TEAM ONLY CAN BEAT THEM

The opposition of 'the junior side was so disappointing that the win nors were never suficiently extended to make them abow their real colours, Ons could not fall to recognise, purely their supremacy, that they aro amenidit team, but the encounter offered no
