ATHLETIC TO CONCEDE SHIELD TIE AGAINST NAVY
RUMJAHNS TOTTER INTO
FINAL
VERY POOR DISPLAY AGAINST LEONARD & HACHIUMA
MUST IMPROVE TO WIN TITLE
(By “VERITAS")
IF the Rumjahns play next Thursday as they did yesterday, Fincher and Goldman, will win the
doubles tennis champion ship in straight sets.
This may appear to be a rather sweeping asserting, based merely os a cursory examination of theix display against Hachium and Leonard whom they defeated 6-4, 6-7, 6-2, 6-2, but such is 1r from the case, rea
It is undeniable that the cousing played very ́ ́much below their form, allowing, contrary to my ex- pectations, Hachiuma's and Leon- ard's less vigorous and defensive type of game to unbalance them. The "eventualities" materialised, with the result that not only did the losers take the first set to ten games, and win the second, but led in both the third and fourth sets.
Judged on previous semi-final standards, play yesterday was poor, the majority of points on bath sides being "given" as a result of blunders.
DEPRESSING MOOD... Hachiuma and Leonard had much for which to thank S. A. Rumjahn, who was in a most depressing mood and played his worst game of the tournament. Sirdar's nel strokes failed him In amazing fashion, numbers of casy volleys being missed, and it was only when the opposition lobbed short that he could pui the ball away from overhead.
His service lacked stability. double-faults accruing numerous
