UNKNOWN AUSTRALIAN BEATS

LEWIS HOAD IN

FIVE-SET MATCH

Paris, May 23.

A little known 20-year-old Australian player, Neal Gligon, today eliminated his work-famous compatriot, Lewis Hoad, in an exciting third round encounter for The French International Hard Court Tennis Championship.

Gibson, who was rated 10th Australian player last year, was not placed in this year's rating and had to play his way through a four-round elimination tournament to qualify for the men's singles proper.

What is the "Kipper's" future as a Test cricketer? "Kipper" is the nick-name of Colin Cowdrey, the Kent and England batsman.
