LAST EVENING

University "A" Almost Sure Of "A" Division

Two results in last night's Badminton League programme are

of vital importance. In the "A" Division, the victory of Univeralty "A" over the Club de Recreio has put them in au almost unassaïl- able position to retain the championship, but they still have to play the Chinese Y.M.C.A. twice.

In the "B" Division. St. John's vanquished Kowloon Tong “A”-n result beneficial to St. Andrew's “A” who now remain the only team in this division to have been beaten once. St. John's, Kowloon Tong "A" and

St. Andrew's Chung Kinh, greatest rivals, have all been beaten twice.

The other teams in the section are out of the running for the champion- ship.
