D.B.S. TENNIS VICTORY

K.C.C. Pair Fail To

Avail Themselves Of Fine Opportunities

(By “ADREM”)

A. V. GOSANO and J. J. Remedios, who were res- ponsible for one of the biggest upsets in the Open Tennis Championships this year when they beat E. C. Fincher and W. C. Hung, advanced yet another stage yesterday in beating the K. C. C. combination of G. C. Burnett and S. A. Gray by 9-7, 6-4.

This fact notwithstanding, it was most difficult yesterday, to recognise them as the pair which last appeared on No. 8 Court--the scene of their big triumph.

Remedios Disappoints

Un that occasion they reached great heights at times and their steadiness at vital per- iods carried them through.

In strict contrast, yesterday they were definitely off colour, both in- dividually and as a combination. For their victory they had to thank the general inconsistency of Gray, who, I believe was suffering from an injured foot.

Over-anxious, they threw away vital points and lost the game.

Opportunity Passed!

Again when leading 5-4, they had a set point but failed again. Their great- est opportunity, however, came in the 14th game of the set. Leading 7-6, 40-15 they again let opportunity pass them by and as it happened it never came their way again!
