THE MEN
Oliveira played, one of his best games of the season, matching the University men in every department and covering court in great style. Remedios' smashing was his most effective stroke last night and he scored numerous points from the half- court
returns which Miss Ribeiro's fine serving forced from the opposi- tion.
Carvalho was erratic and his com- bination with Miss M. Ribeiro left: much to be desired.
Recreio have still to play University at University and unless they streng- then their third string, will probably lose.
