De Castro (2). 1 I desire to remind members that the first round of the club competitions must be completed by Saturday next, December 2, and I understand that no extension of time will be given. I have been impressed by the good form shown by some the Colts. A young player must be careful 1c see that his delivery of the bowl is correct, and also that his stance is in ■order. So many players (including seniors) will not take up the correct stance. They will persist in facing the "‘Jack" instead of facing in the direc- . lion in which the bowl is to be played j
