We are thankful to the the association

columns on Aug. 30, 1953

Kalimpong Mela Ground requires
a good deal of care since this is the
only place where all sorts .of open air
functi ns and sport aie held Had the
ground been in a better condition than
what it is today we could living reputed
Foot half teams from outside which would
have provided added entertainment to

Giving details of a robbery a
newspaper in Brazil mentioned recently
that the bandit was aged between forty'

COLLEGE TEAM'S
CLOXIOU3
COLLAPSE

•Scores :

H. Times 2
College 1

It was a rase of third time lucky
for Himalayan Times on Wednesday
evening when they over came the fighting
S. U M. College Team- in the third
replayed match of ^udama Shield by
two goals to one the winners met
S. U. M. I. ‘A’ on Thursday defeacing the
latter by two goals to nil

Throughout, the College team fought
well and even wh*n it fell down on the
the third day it was a glorious collapse.
With limited players against a team
which had the advantage of picking up
from anywhere, the College team showed
wonderful lenaciiy and their defeat is
no sad reflection in their plays. '

FOOTBALL PLAYERS

Sir. I he practice of elm ugh g players
every time in a team is certainly unrea-
sonable and unfair especially to the
teams sent bv associations or schools
This was observed in t he‘Himalayan Times’
Team in the last two matches against
the S.U.M. College Union Team However,
wo remain content with material defeat
but moral victory. I suggest that the
uuthorities-in-charge should ' take some
precautions to cheek such pretice. 1 am
sure this will be helpful t<> the players
and satisfactory to the public. - Yours
etc. Premanaud James, President S U.M.
College Union, Kalimpong.
