In the first two sets the British champion outgeneralled the American, Allison's continual at tempts to force the pace" being frustrated by Perry's deadly, ac- curacy, which appeared to be entirely new to his

opponent.

प्र

Allison rallied in the third and fourth sets, sending over a stream of flashing drives especially in the fourth set, in which he killed Perry's volleys and drives in a zestful display...

Perry raced into a 5-2 lead in the fith set, but Allison, by a superb display, levelled at 5-6.

Perry, however, regained his lost control and was much the steadier player of the two during the last

few critical moments, Allison's great efforts in the early part of the final set leaving him in an exhausted and excited condition. Reuter,
