M. K. Lo
M. K. and M. W. Lo, who yesterday caused the second upset in the open doubles championship by advancing
to the semi-final at the ex- pense of Paul Konig and Lai Kwong-taun, have longer associations with the Colony tournament than any other pair playing in it to-day.
M. W. Lo
They won the title in 1020, and apart from the Ume when they were in Europe and again in 1928, they have been regular particip ants. Records back to 1927 show that they have previously reached the semi-final stage on three occasions and the quarter-finale twice. The following table indicates how they have fared in the champion- ship from 1927 onwards,

FACES STIFF CHAMPIONSHIP TASK AGAINST TSUI YUN-PUI
(By "Veritas")
After exhausting the subject ́of | the Lo brathers' triumph in the open doubles championship, club pavilion discussion yesterday cen. tred round the prospects of to-day's singles match between II. D. Rom. Jahn and Tau Yun-poi.
General concensus seems to be that although Rumfahn is not quito se fast as hitherto and that he is bo- coming more and more a baseliner, ho has slight odda chance of emerg ing the winner. Rumjahn's usual de- pendability of the ground, and his vast match play experience are the wo factors which prompt one to tip him, to win.

Unaccountabio lapses on the part Jof Paul Kong made a big contribution to the result, but it must also be acknowledged that the Lo brothers were sufficiently alive to opportuni- ties to take fullest advantage of them. While it is true they were alded in their quest by the inconsistencies of the opposition, full credit in deserv- ing for the manner in which the win-| nets maintained a steady, type of game.
REMARKABLE PHASES
There were two remarkable phases In this match. In Use first set the opening eight games went against service, and in the second set the ultimate winners went to a lead of 5-1 and held three match points on Lai's service. Everything pointed to a walk-over, but Lai and Kong saved the game and went on to capture the next three in a row and
