Badminton Plans For Military Enthusiasm Deserves Full Encouragement

Accommodation of Spectators At Championships

(By "Tinker")

ONE OF THE ASPIRATIONS of Mr. M. Talan, the enthusiastic Secretary of the Hongkong Bad- minton Association, for the now season is to see full scope of encouragement given to the Services of Hongkong for the playing of badminton.

Facts and figures which he gave to me the other day re- veal that there is an anormous degree of keenness among the militarymen, and it is a spirit that is deserving of the greatest encouragement from all possible quarters.

It is not surprising that this

is so for the British soldier is

For La Salle Inter-School Sports

PROVIDING a greater quota of better swimmers, La Salle College look first place in both the junior and senior boys events at the inter- Schools swimming sports organised by the V.R.C, on Saturday evening. while French Convent, led by Mias J. Anderson, claimed honours for the girls,

In none of the boys events was any time outstanding, and for quality and closer competition spectators turned to the girls events in which Miss Ko Miu-ling (Ying Wa), Miss Jackie Anderson (French Convent) and Miss Celeste Guterres (St Mary's) were opposed.

Three teams returned high aggregate scoros for the period ending August, in the Hongkong Rifle Association's Miniature Rifle League. They were Police Reservo (372, 368); Royal Scots "B" Coy (372, 369) and Rajput "E" (367). The 22nd (F) Coy, R.E. and Middlesex "A” shot the second tied match of the season with 319 each.

An amendment has been made to the resuits for the period ending August 10, I. E. Stonecutters having scored 347-tu-win their match
