TSUI YUN PUI FULLY EXTENDED

WILL HE LOWER IT?

His approximate time for the quarter mile was only: 26 seconds off the Colony record established by Wilfred Lawrence in 1935 and he stands an excellent chance, of lower- ing that mark, provided he is ex- tended.

(Continued from Page 19) The score-6-4, 6-4-gives an

50 accurate idea of the closeness of the 100 150 play and although Tsui, playing 200 with the utmost confidence through- 250 out, never appeared in any great 300 danger, Szeto deserves the utmost 400 credit for extending him as much as he did,

The former pair proved more than a match for the eventual winners
