The Argonautos kicked off playing strongly during the first quarter of an hour but tired towards the interval. They were, however able to

1936 through the
Colony singles tennis championship to
a logical and fitting conclusion when he beat H. D. Rumjahn in the final, after a match which fell somewhat below the expectations because of comparative poorness of the loscr.
The title has never been more when meritoriously won. After using the first four games to judge the pace of the court and the strength of the opposition, Taul proceeded to domin- afe the match. Even when he was 4-1 down in the second set he con- tinued with his imperturbable tennis, everything that Rumjahn sent over.
