VANAR UPSETS

UPSETS HUI

IN OPEN SINGLES

Last night's programme in the Colony Open Badminton Championships at Club de Recreio was featured by a major upset that saw a seeded player in the Senior Open Singles, P. K. Hui, go down to University's S. A. Vanar.

Vanar's winning score of 15-8, 15-7 establishes him as a strong contender for the Open Singles title. He is a forceful player with a powerful overhead stroke when given the chance that is an ace every time.

He has good Judgment in place shots and his drops are executed with a neatness almost amounting to

SENIOR DOUBLES

The most exciting game of the evening was the Senior Doubles en- counter between the Sing Tao pair, H. Wong and C. Au and KCC's 5. Saul and W. Glies. The Sing Tao players won 17-14, 17-14.

The KCC pair led in both games, being 14-8 up in the first only to have Wong, who was in smashing form, turn in six aces in a row on his service.
