'(By "VERITAS".).
IF ever there was a tennis match fraught with the atmosphere of the dramatic it was yesterday's stand court engagement when Ho Ka-lau eliminated E. C. Fincher in the fourth. round of the open singles 2-6, 6-3, 8-6. THE tension in the final set, with the crowd reacting to every move, every winning shot and every mistake, was almost painful in its intensity, but it did not disturb the equinamity of Ho Ka-lau, who went on to enjoy the crowning triumph of beating not only a sound favourite for the semi-finals, but, to do so after being a set in arrears.
This, of course, ranks as Ho's best fest to date in local tennis;

And then He had to experience, being outplayed in the first set and given the task of recovering from this and fighting his way through the next two to victory.
He accomplished it brilliantly and fully justified the quiet confidence of his supporters.

it was quickly indicated that his orchand drive was at last fune- toning correctly, and by means of this he more or less pegged Fin- cher back to the baseline. From! position Ho was the master; and found it perfectly easy to carry the offensive to the other side of the net.
NAVAL MEN START WELL.'
Commanders Packer and Shaw, by elminating M. K. and M. W. Lo in three sets, started on what premises to be a most successful trip in the open doubles. They should find their way to the semi- final with ease, and will probably give Goldman and Fincher a big challenge for entry into tho" last round.
