The sensation of Wimbledon this year was the second round defeat of Henri Cochet by I. G. Collins, who, brilliant as a doubles players, is not regarded as being outstanding as a singles exponent although he has on more than one occasion won the Scottish title.
In the following, Frank Poxon, of the News-Chronicle tells how Cochet came to be beaten in such a manner. He writes:- We never have to wait long at was given by the linesman he Cochet Wimbledon for a first-class senan-huself called the ball out. tion.

HIS CRITIC.MOTHER..
Ian Collins has one great friend and one severe critic-his mother, when he plays badly, has no hesita tion in telling him that he let the family down.
And Ian Collins says: "I'm sorry, mother."
Last year Cochet was beaten on the first day at Wimbledon by Nigel Sharpe, but he was ill and should not have gone on the court.
Collins got a tremendous ova tion as he left the court. He left the ground, a few minutes later and--typical of the mau-he dulged the crowd.
