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. moreover were only playing at half-speed. By mutual arrangement, the game was played at King's College instead of at the Gymnasium.

CRICKET NOTES

Schoolboys on 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.

Batsmen end were far too
