In no other match in the current tournament has there been such complete, and un-i expected, debacle. The representatives did not make the slightest fight and played like and oddly assorted pair, nervous of each other and quite incapable of resisting the opposition,
Fond hopes held by not a few that they would snatch a victory from Fincher and Goldman were quickly dispelled, when, after a) first set of poor tennis, it was evident that the winners were so much in the ascendant, that it would require a complète collapse on their part for Packer and Shaw to win even a set.

Slowly but surely, rugger football is making headway in the United States, especially on the West Coast, due chiefly to the efforts of American Marines who learned the game in Shanghai.
American sports writers have com- mented very favourably оп the handling code and although rugger may never supplant the grid game insofar as popularity is concerned, nevertheless, the next year or two ahould see far greater interest being taken in the sport

Packer tried desparately hard | to cover up 'Shaw's tragic blund ersm but he could not shoulder the burden of the winners' attack, and himself finally fell away, losing control of his trokes.
The fuel that Packer's fore- head drive refused to function correctly added difficulties to the task, and with Shaw quite unable to cover the net proper-| ly, the navy pair were hopeless- ly at sea.

It was a disheartening game be cause Packer and Shaw had pro- mised rather big things in the earlier stages of the competition, and one can sympathise with them in their ignominous failure. No credit must be taken from Gold- man and Fincher for the 'really fine tennis. they played, but their Job was made considerably casier by the opposition.
