VARSITY "A" NOT EXTENDED BY KING'S COLLEGE

CONCEDES ONLY TWO GAMES IN BADMINTON TIE

K. L. YONG AND P. K. HUI SEEN AT HALF SPEED

University "A" dropped two games in the process of beating King's College in the "A" Division of the Badminton League yesterday evening, but the under- graduates had a comparatively weak side out and morcover were only playing at half-speed. By mutual arrangement, the game was played at King's College instead of at the Gymnasium.

T. F. Yong and S. K. Lim. a new combination, come Into the Univer- ity side but they were not n success, dropping two games. Lim, of course, has been playing for the University "B" this son, and was taken up to the first string to make up the team. pales, The other two University K. L. Yong and P. K. Hui, and C. O. Lee and C. K. Lee, were always class above the King's College pairs, although the twe Lee's were fortunnie to win their game against II. T. Won and K. L. Yul. Yong and Hul never found it necessary to go all out; they played only Just well enough to win. C. O. Lee and C. K. Lee started off in grand style, winning by 21-10 against S. P. Chan and II. N. Chung and by 21-7 against J. Pau oad K.

however, Lo. In their last game, they were up against it when they met Lui and Woo, probably the most consistent pair in the King's College were leading team. Hul and Woo 14-3 and 16-0, but were eventually overhauled by the undergraduates and beaten by 21-17..

I was told by C. O. Lee, the Uni- versity captain, that the team will return to its full strength shortly. The examinations are now on-the Engineering Faculty started yester- day and this was responsible for the weak alde Belded.

SAINTS FIRST POINTS Entertaining a rather weak Univer. sity "D" team, St. Andrew's won its Arst League points as a result of their victory by the odd game.

The tie between the Chinese Y.M.C.A. and the Club de Recrelo "B". scheduled to be played Inst night, was postponed.

Club Ground Last Week

(By "R. Abbit")

Although there was no first League cricket last Saturday, I managed to watch some extremely interes- ing play during the course of a somewhat peripatetic afternoon. I was extremely pleased to have the op- portunity of seeing the Central British School bat against the Hongkong Cricket Club second XI on the Club ground. It was, I believe, the first time that the School had played upon the Club ground, and I fancy there was a certain amount of nervousness among the batsmen. However the first five or six of them whom I saw played with a most excellently straight bat. They had obviously been very well coached but they had the inevitable handicap of youth in that they played routine shots to every ball and consequently the ball usually went straight to hand.

I do not propose to mention any if Gegg strained himself or anything; sent down three overs two of of the batsmen by name but nearly be
