After allowing that the opposi-: tion was not so powerful as it might have been, one has overy reason to believe that Fincher and Goldman are playing better this year, and that whether they meet the Rum- Jahns or Ho Ka-lau and Taul Wai- pul in the final, they have distinctly good chances of winning the title.
Their net attacks compared very favourably with the Hum Jahns at their best. Fincher volleyed with sustained ac- curacy: Goldman was seldom at fault in his kills and acutely angled volleys. Thus equipped there_could be only one result.
DEFENSIVE TACTICS: Taoi and Tauf exploited defen- sive tactics no well in the first set, rewarded that they were nearly with its annexation. Teoi's lobbing was ideal, driving the winners back to the baseline. He shouldered rea- ponsibility in at least 60 per cent. of the rallies and came out with fying colours,

ATTRACTIVE PROGRAMME NOW IN THE MAKING
(By "Veritas"},"
Japan's Davis Cup team for 1934 is to play in exhibition tennis on the stand court of the Hongkong Cricket Club on Good Friday afternoon, March 30.
the
Working in conjunction with H.K.C.C., the Lawn Tennis Association is arranging an attractive programme of matches which will enable local tennis enthusiasts to see Japan's four leading players in action.
The Davis Cup team comprises Jiro Satoh, already well known in Hongkong, Hidoe Nishimura, Jiro Yamagishi and Jiro Fujikura.
Nishimura, present national singles champion of Japan, is also No. 1 ranking player, while with Yamagishi he enjoys the leading position in the doubles ranking list.
Yamagishi is ranked No. 2 in the singles, and Fujikura, who was seen in Hongkong nearly three years, is No. 3.
BEST TEAM YET
The team is regarded as being the best Japan has yet sent to Europe to challenge for the Davis Cup.
It is hoped that the progamine will include
a singles match between Satoh and Nishimura, :a. doubles between Nishimura and Yamagishi and Satoh and Fujikura, and a third doubles match in which the winners of the present Hongkong championship will participate.
The Japanese are due to arrive in the Colony on the morning of March 30 aboard the Hakone Maru, and they are scheduled to leave the following day.
