TENNIS PRODIGY
“DOWN UNDER”
WALLACE MURDOCH'S
PROMISE
MORE SOLID THAN SPECTACULAR
Sydney, July 9. "THAT youngster is more promising at his age than were John Bromwich, Arthur Huxley, and the other prominent juniors now working their way to tennis fame." That is how Aubrey Willard, famous N.S.W. tennis player, hails 11- year-old Wallace Murdoch, the young Western Suburbs player, who is playing his way into the hearts of Sydney tennis followers.
"A very nice little player, Wallace is solid rather than spec- tacular, and is very reliable. His temperament is ideal for ten- nis; he never becomes ruffed," adds Mr. Willard. "If he keeps an improving as he is now, he must take a, front rank place in the game. His strokes are perfectly executed and now that he is using one hand instead of two, he is swinging nicely into that correct method of play."
Lightly, but athletically built, young Wallace has the stamp of a tennis player," as active as a cat and quick to see the tactical means of outwitting his opponent. His unruffled court demeanour could be taken as an object lesson to many senior players.

AS GOOD AS GOLD!"
2S
At eight years of age, Wal- lace first came into prominence a tennis player with the Bar 20 schoolboys' team in the Western Saburhs Association's competition.
When nine years old, he held his racquet half-way up the handle în serving, and for the most part, played with two hands." -Bat even then his shots caused wonder jamong excellent judges of the
game.
"It's Crackers, Mr. Parker"
At the age of ten, he began to show remarkable powers of endur ance and caused no little stir in- playing 101 games in a week-end tourney—a feat which would tire even a seasoned adult player.
After he had turned eleven years of age, Wallace took part in his first all-day mixed tennis tourney -held by Mr. R. Parker, of Bo- chester Street, Homebush. With Miss Mavis Dillon, he год the championship. The winning lady |player was givku a trophy, but it was left to the gentleman's own. discretion as to what prize he would choose.
Imagine the scene after Wallace and Miss Dillon bad carried off the honours. Everyone wondered what the boy would choose, but they were hardly prepared for the. "It's crackers, Mr. Parker," when Wallace claimed his reward. It was crackers, too, in large quanti-. ties.
Perhaps, some day, Wallace Mur- doch may represent Australia in the Davis Cup contests. He's off to an early start, anyhow, i
