As a further distinction Bogers is 6ft 6in. and something in height. back Up to now he has not been very fit, mainly as the result of an in- jury to his nose sustained when boxing as a schoolboy. (One may be forgiven if one wonders what sort of a boy managed to reach that pose supposing Rogers always to have been abnormally tall) The Irish champion-he is Irish himself with just the right amount of brogue can on occasion play fine tennis. His first service is sometimes a real! cannon-ball," but as much cannot be said for his second. His drive is often a fine one, his backhand cross-passing shot is a beauty, but his game is not yet marked by that consistency which is the hallmark of the truly great. On the valley, and particularly overhead Rogers is only moderately good. Of one essential, however, he has almost a super-abundance, and that is self- confidence.
