NO HANDICAP

BRAVES v. MADCAPS IS TOMORROW'S BIGGEST GAME

BY “STARDUST"

After last week's curtailed programme, the pennant campaign in all four loops gets into full stride this week-end with many close games in the offing. The top teams of all loops clash in important tussles which should reduce the ranks of the invincibles to a mere handful.

The drawing card of the week is the clash between the Braves and the Mad- caps in the Senför Circuit. Some fang-will-prefer the tamer encounter between the Wahoos, Lady Champions, and the unpredictable Canuckettes, which takes place at the same time an the Braves-Madcaps attraction but on an adjoining ground.

This afternoon, the two undefeated members of the Ladies Junior circuit- the Squaws and the St Teresa's-play a crucial tussle with honours at stake: For Junior Loop adherents, the neeille tilt featuring the lending Rexes and the Jaguars should provide its full quota of action.

Busmen Meet Army Today At Boundary Street

The titbit of this week-end's soccer is undoubtedly the meeting of Kowloon Motor Bus and Army at Boundary Street today in a First Division League' game. Four league games are down for decision this afternoon and tomorrow two games In the Memorial Cup series will complete an excellent week-end soccer programme: Army, who have been victorious in their past five games, meet the powerful KMB team today in what promises to be one of the best games of the season.
