Moves of this description may be and still are made but it is now recognized that the most effective form of attack is one in which one wing brings the other quickly and unexpectedly into action by means of the cross or diagonal pass.

That is why I think the game 10. day is certain to go to four sets and quite possibly the fifth.

YESTERDAY'S MATCH.
Although the standard of tennis yesterday never reached beyond "B" Division of the League, the crowd who surrounded the stand court found plenty to interest in the fourth round match between the Iu brothers, and Hachiuma and Leonard, the Craigen- gower C.C. pair.
Three men are in a position to make the sudden switch from one Rumjahn will find that not only wing to the other.
