YESTERDAY'S TENNIS
LEWIS HOAD AND FRASER DELIGHT FANS WITH SCINTILLATING TENNIS
By "TOUCHWOOD”
Can anyone blame Jack Kramer for his persistent efforts to get Tony Trabert, Ken Rosewall and Lewis Hoad "in the bag" before October 17 to swell the professional ranks?
After watching Australia's Lewis Head and Neale Fraser in action at the Hongkong Cricket Club ground where they played exhibition matches with the Colony's top notchers, Ip Koon-hung and Edwin Tsai-I can quite understand Kramer's particular concern to garner the world's three best amateurs today.

London.
The United States being now the leading power in golf, as in many other spheres, we are constantly being subjected to influences from the other side of the Atlantic.
Against some of them-the electric cuddle cart, the four and a half hour round, and perhaps certain forms of apparel-the barricades should be kept permanently manned. From others we may have much to learn. Among these is what our American friends, for a reason which as yet escapes me, call pony golf.
