The legendary RUDI HARTONO of Indonesia is back, together with his fellow countrymen, who won four of the five titles in the last World Championships. The odd one out went to NORA PERRY and JANE WEBSTER , who team up again in the Ladies' Doubles. Commentators BARRY DAVIES and DEREK TALBOT
IT SOUNDS LIKE bad news for geese: 16 goose feathers (eight from the same wing of each of two birds) make just one top-flight shuttlecock. With perhaps 30 shuttles being tossed aside during one match, do we have an endangered species on our hands? Of course not. The feathers are imported from East Europe where the bird is bred for meat and pate. Your duvets and shuttlecocks are but expensive spin-offs, Play on, conservationists.
