TSUIS OFF THE MARK
Although they were led at various times and conceded quite a few games, one always felt that the Tsui brothers, holders of the Colony doubles title, had a good deal in reserve and could have won practically any game they liked against Omar Rumjahn and S. A. Hussain yesterday.

Before the interval Pritam Nalth received a cut near the eye and was forced to abandon the game; Nerain Singh took his place.
GOOD VOLLEYING His service was also good and his ground strokes as decisive as ever.
Yan-pul showed a tightening up in all departments and a particularly im- pressive feature of his game yesterday was his sharply-angled volleying, Overhead he showed increased con- fidence.

Hook and Reed in the intermediate line were sound, the former stuck to his man well and tackled well with the result that the opposing wing did
not have much rope.
Whitley did not start well, but in the closing stages of the first half im- proved immensely and maintained that improvement in the second period.
By far the outstanding player in the forward line was Partab Singh on the left wing. He was very fast and displayed excellent ball control, his recovery and reverse stick work being prominent. His partner Pritam' Nath, until his injury, fed him with good passes and played well himself.

Homburg, in the leader's berth, was always up with, the play and scored at goal, while Hitchcock a good inside-right put in some good work.
Fowler on the right wing was off form. He rarely did anything worth while when in possession. ..
Shah Wali and Kalwant Singh were a powerful right wing combination for Rajputana Rifles. The former was decidedly better than Fowler as a right winger.
. Bharta Ram was another dangerous forward and he had hard luck in not netting in the second half.
