SOUTH CHINA HAVE PROMISING TEAM
YOUTHFUL IP BROTHERS FEATURED
K.I.T.C. PAIRS UNBALANCED THE Kowloon Indian Tennis Club suffered a rude shock in their first encounter in the “D”: Divi- sion of the Lawn Tennis League yesterday, when they were beaten at home by the South China Ath- letic Association by the odd set, a feature of the play being the performance of L. Ip and Y. Ip, two youngers of 12 and 14, respectively, who took two sets.
M. S. Khan and M. Ramzan, the latter the K.I.T.C. and Colony Interport hockey goalkeeper, were the best of the home pairs and combined splendidly, Ramzan's powerful driving from the baseline and brilliant net play badly rattling the opposition, while Khan was- very steady.
Jahan Dad and S. R. Salleh were an unbalanced pair and never really got settled, the former being unsteady and frequently net- ting, while his opponent gave him little support.
South China have a very pro-
mising group of plyaers, who should do very well in the
future.

tion.
It was obvious from their perfor- IR.C. MAKE CLEAN ·

Leung and Sze were also a stready partnership and proved too fast for two of the opposition pairs, retriev- ing many likely winners and were al- together too steady.

Mixed Doubles. Handicap A. W Ramsey and Miss V. Bradbury (rec.2/6) beat W. Crabb and Mrs. Sweeney (scr.) 6-3, 6-4.
The drizzle which fell before and during the game made the turf very slippery and the Indian players were better able to find their feet than their opponents.
It was obvious during the game that the Indian pairs had been playing together for some time, as good combination and understand- ing was a feature of their play.
The following were the scores”— M. Hassan and S. A. R. Bux (I.R.C.) beat J. L. Anderson and A. L.
