CAN DROBNY RESIST THE LURE? By JOHN COTTRELL

as assistant managing director

of a sports goods firm.

In the International match at King's Park, Irelandy had suf- ficient chances to make sure of the game, but their finishing was

poor,

The conditions were just about, perfect when the game commenced and the opening ex- changes were even, but after only seven minutes' play Paklo- un look the lead. Zia Hussain picked the ball up in mid-Geld and ran right through the Irish defence to hoot past. Horwood.

They were without Pat Gardner, and Kelleher who was brought up into the for- ward line to replace him, was never happy, there. Kelleher had one glorious chance in the, stoand half, but although he had time to pick his polevalled the scores he topped the ball and muffed it.

In 1955, when he was No. 5 seed, Drobny suffered a shock defeat against Indla's Ramanathan Krishnan. In 1959, smarting from another first-round knock-out, by Bel- toin's Alan Mills, he told me: "I'm finished with Wimbledon."" Yet he bounced back for more punishment last year this time going out the first round to the little-known Ger- mon, Wolfgang Stuck.

effective forward

and both his koals were solo efforts. Pakistan's main falling was in being trapped off-side; it happened on numerous occasions through the final pass being de- layed too long.

The match started very late becauro of the late arrival of the Pakistan players and even then they started with only nine, one

The girls from Caroline Hill won, the Ladies' Softball League title yes. terday when they easily beat their "B" team 13-0, and the SCAA whose men's team had already annexed Senior Division Championship three weeks ago, thus achieved à grand double this year.

In the only other game played at King's Park, a Junior League match having been washed out carlier, the Stardusts got through to the Knock-out Tournament, scheduled for Easter Monday morning by trouncing the Indians 19-5.

Quite frankly, from the mo- ment the Stardusts talled, four runs in the top of the fourth Inning the game held no further interest for the few spectators present. The Stardusts were giving nothing away and were obviously going, all out to score as many runs is they possibly could and in this they succeeded admirably. They were helped considerably by the lack of fighting spirit displayed by the Indians who will want to forget this outing.
