CHINESE Y. M. C. A. PLAYERS MAKE GOOD START

UNIVERSITY “B” TROUNCED BY A STRONG SIDE

PATRICK WONG ALREADY SHOWING FINE FORM

(By "Abe")

If the form shown by the Chinese Y.M.C.A. players last night at the Eu Tong-sen Gymnasium is any in- dication of their usual standard, they will not lag far behind University "A" and Club de Recreio "A" in the "A" Division of the Badminton League this season,

(By "R. Abbit”)

When the Club and K.C.C. game was continued on Saturday last, one hoped from the spectators's point of view, that Hayward would not enforce the follow on. However, it was the proper game to put Kowloon in again and he did so, giving them the not impossible task of getting 180 runs to save the innings defeat, and 300 odd if they were going to make an attempt to pull the match out of the fire.
