The 150 motres free-style | relay for members of the Winter Swimmers Club, was clearly the most popular race, and Leo Hon-kee's team received rousing cheer when they finish- ed just ahead of Young Man-kit's team.

KWONG TAI UNIVERSITY scom slated for runners-up honours to Sing Tao in the premier cage league when they subdued Wah Kiù 54-33 in a series of brilliant set plays at the Chinese Y.M.C.A. on Wednesday last. Their star player, Lo Tung, was indisposed, but his absonce did in no way prove disconcerting, in fact, the squad's versatility laid bare the glaring need of advice from a side-line coach,

Saturday's top-liner featured a Chinese “Y” quintette, still smarting from their "victory-snatched-from-their- grasp defeat by Sing Tao recently. They wreaked their vengeance on a weak Combined Banks' outfit 68-32.
