OMAR RUMJAHN SHOWS SKILL ON U.S.R.C. COURT
CARRIES HIS PARTNER INTO NEXT ROUND
The defeat of W. C. Hung and Lee Wai-long yesterday in the hardcourt tennis championship was due to several factors, but chiefly to Omar Rumjahn's genius. The veteran, with many years of hardcourt tennis experience at his finger tips, dominated the concluding stages of a match featured by the fluctuating form of all four players, and out-lobbed, out-smashed and out-manoeuvred the opposition.

One noticeable feature of the match was the excellent way in which the winners combined despite the fact that this was their first tournament match together. In contrast Hung and Lee were several times left spreadeagled because one left a shot to the other when not expected. Somo engy volleys were missed be- cause of this, while Rumjaha further exposed the weakness with his mgnificent lobbing.
Rumjahn and Chon played the more thoughtful tennis and be- cause of this deserved to win.
