Even in these allegedly enlightened days the contradictory generalities of well-known scers are followed by those who should perhaps know a little better. And now, even the cyclist is involved in the businesss of prognostication.

He won the Amateur Athletic Association Shot Put title in 1952-53-54; won the Empire Games title in Vancouver, Canada, last year and was sixth in the European Championships.--Express Photo.
Dao Shows His Fighting Qualities In Semi-Final Against Ip Koon-Hung
The defending Champion, Ip Koon-h ung, played great tennis to eliminate K. C. Dao, this year's Hardcourt Champion, in a Clony Grasscourt Championship semi- final yesterday. To lp, it was more than just a match. With his victory over Dao he had the satisfaction of avenging his defeat by the same player in the Hardcourt Championships recently concluded. He won 6-3, 6-4, 6-4 after 1 hour and 40 minutes of play.
The Ip-Duo encounter was a match that gave the 100-odd paying crowd its money's worth. Dao, a staminn-packed player: gave Ip Koon-hung a good run around, often troubling and sometimes bewildering him with his immaculate returns on both fore and backhand. And though not really in the game class as the Champion in grasscourt tennis, Dao showed what a fighter he is.
The defending Champion, though hard pressed throughout by his opponent, showed he was the master of the situation, par- ticularly in the third set when he often left Duo standing with Jus beautiful net-skimming shots and high loby to the baseline.
A feature of the muth were Ip's "big" service aces lowers the middle, his deep devastating drives down either cover of the court, his powerful and yet controlled and delleate half- volley.
