Forehand Drive.
After a very Indifferent start with his ground strokes Andrews at last found his length in the last set of the afternoon to the plea- Aure of the many spectators pre- sent. A tendency to over-drive was the cause of his failure to ex- ploit successfully the forchand drive in the early stages, but after becoming somewhat accustomed to the light he allowed this stroke full license.
Below will be found the results of yesterday's games:

Mr. E. D. Andrews, the British tennis star, entertain ed Rotarians with
in- teresting reminiscences at the weekly timn yesterday, prior to the principal speaker, Lleat- Commander Dymott, addressing the gathering on the subject of meteorology.
Mr. Andrews described his ex- periences on his first International tennis tour in Australia five years ago, where he played at the White City Club, Rushcutters Bay, which provides from 70 to 80 ̊. grass courts. In Germany, Mr. Andrews played in the covered courts cham- planships, and on a second tour of the Continent received word early one morning that the Cambridya side, for which he was playing, were wanted to play, in a charity match at two o'clock the same afternoon. The team flew back to London in a triple-engine Fokker, and were back by one o'clock: In the afternoon, and on the courts at the stipulated timel

Friendlies.
Mrs. D. Pinguet gave an im- proved display in attack, but her defensive work was not as quick as it might have been. Miss E. Booth was not as much in the limelight as is usual, and it look- ed as if she was out of place at right half-back. Of the forwards Miss M. George was the most ac- tive, though her shooting powers were not as good as usual. Pro- viding her inside forwards draw their opponents and then slip the ball down the centre she should be able to round off their move- ments to advantage.
