Draw In Test Confirmed
POOR DAY FOR C.R.C.
PLAYERS AT TENNIS TOURNEY Three Eliminated In Four Ties Yesterday

Paul Kong met his Watertoo at 10 haridis of E. C. Fincher, who played extremely well to win out in straight sets. The scores 6-2, 0-1 in his favour, against a player of Kong's calibre, are sufficient proof of the high quality of Fincher's tennis yesterday. Not only was his backhand in good working order.

The short-passing game, which was developed to such

This is nothing more or less than the oldest style of hockey-called in those days "hit and run"-brought down to a scientific basis, and it is for this reason that nowadays we see little of the short square- passing game from stick to stick that used to be such a delight to watch.
