DECISIVE DEFEAT FOR

FLAMBOYANT YOUTH YIELDS
TO EXPERIENCE
(By "Veritas")
Enter the first semi-finalist of the 1933 Open Singles Tennis Championship. He is M. W. Lo, some- time holder of the coveted title, and one of the oldest participators in this annual struggle for supremacy on the local tennis courts,

Lo yesterday earned the distinction of being the first to enter the semi-finals by beating Tam Yoo-fong, the young Hanci invader, in straight sets, and with the concession of but threa games.
The winner played better tennis than the majority of spectators anticipated, and his success and the scores in no way flattered him. He not only outplayed, but out- paced Tam, a remarkable feat from one whom many of us felt would probably suffer frem lack of speed.
Lo was not only amazingly agile about the court, but he secured a "bile" off the ground with his drives which Tam could in no way equat, in spite of all his top spin.
SORRY DOWNFALL.
Of course the underfoot zon- considerably ditions suited Lo more than his opponent, but it was the C. R. C. player's general- ship which played the all, important part in his ad- vance to the next round. Thai knowledge of match play } quirements, the

Lo has proved time after time that he is the man for the big occasion. His psychological reac tion to important matches is such that he is invariably seen to greater advantage than in the lesser encounters, when he often plays desultory and uninspired tennis..

More than once Tam had!" splendid opportunities of dropp. ing short balls with Lo well be- hind the baseline and himself at the net, but he just did not know the right kind of stroke to adopt; he endeavoured to drive past Lo, and very natural- ly put the ball beyond the lines.
