MAGNIFICENT IS THE ONLY WORD that can describe the thrill-studded display of tennis which the TSUI BROTHERS and the BUMJAIN COUSINS gave at the United Services Recreation Club yesterday when, after '57 gruelling games extending over 135 minutes, Youth beat Experience in four sets to capture the Colony Hardcourt Daubles title.

The Cousins put up what must, in the circumstances, rank as one of the best exhibitions of their career. Tralling throughout, never leading at any stage, they none the less fought every inch of the way, and thelf amazing rear-guard action when 2-4 down in the fourth set will long remain in the memory of the large crowd tha! was privileged to see ft.
