Pupils Draw With The Masters
FINE SHOWING AT D.B.S.
(By "Varitas")
The progress made in tennis by the pupils at Diocesan Boy's School was amply demonstrated yesterday when, in the annual Boys v. Masters match, they held the adults to a draw for the first time in this annual series of nutches.
Actually the bays won the doubles by 5% sets to 314, but this year a programme of singles games was added, and this the musters won by 4 to 2, thus making the total scores 71⁄21⁄2 to 74.
Nevertheless the pupils played so strongly
the first three that after singles they reneled a stage when they could not lose the match. In golf parience they became 'dormy four,
Then, after the masters had won the next three singles, the last game was put into court with the boys leading by a single set. The Onale was a filting climax to a splendid
rncounter.

I was particularly pleased to note the Hongkong University turned out a team of present students for their match for this against Waseda, showed that the, right spirit is prevalent in the Varsity hockey club. It is true the Hongkong lads lost but only.. after giving a jolly good dis- play.

I gather she was suffering from a cold and this affected her play. Cer- tainly she was well below form.
Miss M. Smith broke away to open t the scoring, and this appeared to infuse a bit of life into an otherwise disjointed Y.M.C.A. attack. Any- way Miss Barras became more active in gooi, but was again beaten when Miss Sybil Dalziel got in a neat flick shot Recrelo were kept strictly on the defensive until the interval.
The Y.M.C.A. settled down to more orderly hockey in the second half, and Miss Westcott and Miss Smithi became prominent on the wings. Recreio, however, and a staunch defender in Mrs. Sitva and she saved, her team several times.
Miss Olive Dalziel was effective on the right wing, but her sister was somewhat erraile ja sitooling. I also noticed that she wanted to take the ball right into the goal and lost several chances of utilising her powerful ht when she got in the circle.
Miss Mota at right back played a skilful game for Recrelo, but both she and her partner were inclined to lle back and crowd Miss Barros in goni.
Though she tried to do her best at| centre-forward, Miss Bradbury was too slow in swinging the ball to her wings, and both Miss Smith and Miss Dalziel suffered accordingly. Mrs. Brown, playing at centre-half for the winners, did not hit the ball hard enough, though her defensive work was excellent,
Miss Gonsalves, a now recruit playing at left back for Recrelo, gave a creditable performance, and she has certainly improved since I last saw her in action. Once again Miss Suva received vague support from her inside forwards, and Miss A. Fowler was always able to counter the Recreio moves. She was the backbone of the winners' defence,
I am sure the Y.M.C.A. hope that Mrs. Read and Miss Thomson will be fit to play' in the "all "Important: match" which... is.... scheduled for .... a fortnight's time.
