HONGKONG COMFORTABLY IN THE LEAD IN INTERPORT TENNIS MATCH

By "ARGONAUT"

Hongkong gained a comfortable 2-0 lead at the end of the first day's tennis interport match with Saigon yesterday.

On the eve of his departure to England for a second try at Wimbledon, Ip Koon-hung, the Colony champion gave an impressive exhibition of all-round aggres- sive strokes to account for Saigon's Van Sau in two straight sets, 6-3 and G-1,

K. C. Dao, the Colony runner-up and fornier Shanghul Champion, with his greater accuracy in strokes and better retrieving powers had the better of Saigon's No. 1 player, Ván Nua in a ding-dong baseline duel, winning by G-2 and 6-3.
