Variable indeed was the badminton at Taikoo Club last night between the Hongkong University and Chinese Y.M.C.A., in the first match of the triangular play-off series for the "A" Division league championship, which the University won by the handsome and in- disputable margin of seven games to two.

SOUTH CHINA

INTERESTING BUT NOT OUTSTANDING SOCCER

(By "Abo")

Even the Islington Corinthians themselves must have been satisfied with their reception at Caroline Hill yesterday afternoon in their return football match with the South China A.A.; a huge crowd, including a big contingent of schoolboys, turned up to see them play a draw with the home side in a game which, if not really outstanding, was always interesting because the issue was open up to the final whistle.

Had M. Miller not been fouled in of cutting in by himself, he tried to the penalty area ten minutes after draws Whittaker, only to see his pass the resumption of play in the second to Chan Tak-fái smothered by the half, the Chinese might have won the centre-half. encounter, for their defence was good the Corinthians'
