(By "Veritas")

St. Andrew's "A" scored another smashing success and two points in the men's division, of the badminton league last night when they entertained and defeated Kawloon Tong by nine games to love. This brings their record up to four wins from four matches played with an average of 32 games for and four against, and gives them the leadership of the division.

E. F. Fincher and Henry Kew, the

winners' first couple were highly im

pressive and won 21-3, 21-4, and 21-0

without over being extended. In
