AMUSING NEWSPAPER DESCRIPTION
り
Slowly but surely, rugger football is making headway in the United States, especially on the West Coast, due chiefly to the efforts of American Marines who learned the
game in Shanghai.
American sports writers have com- mented very favourably 口鼈 the handling code and although rugger may never supplant the grid game insofar as popularity is concerned, nevertheless, the next year or two should see far greater interest being taken in the sport.

crown which has heen held for eight successive years by the Rumjahn cousins.
I was pleased to see the greatly improved form of Goldman. He was dominant yesterday, being especially clever in service and net work. His volleying was rarely at fault and at the slightest in vitation langed the ball away for outright,polits.
Geldman has a penchant for serving real first class deliver- ies from the right hand side of the court, and he demoralised Shaw with a succession of re- markable shots from this posi- tion.
Fincher was as usual reliable, his trustworthy game, completely
devoid of flourish, being far too effective for the opposition. Al- though not enjoying quite the same amount of limelight as his partner, Fincher was by far the steadier of the "contestants and invariably had a well placed shot ready to finish off a rally.
Additional strength: to the claims of this pair for the championship laurel's next week is that yesterday they were never full out. Adding 25 per cent more speed to their strokes they should prove a good mutch for the Rumjalins, who will almost cer- tainly be their opponents.
LONE PACKER.
H
Packer tried desparately hard | to cover up Shaw's tragic blund- ersm but he could not shoulder the burden of the winners' attack, and himself finally fell away, losing control of his trokes.
The fact that Packer's fore- head drive refused to function correctly added difficultica tó the task, and with Shaw quite unable to cover the net proper- ly, the navy pair were hopeless- ly at sex.
It was a disheartening game be cause Packer and Shuw had pro- mised rather big things in the earlier stages of the competition. and one can sympathise with them in their ignominous failure. No credit must be taken from Gold- man and Fincher for the really. fine tennie they played, but their job was made considerably easier by the opposition,
In each set the winners went ahead to take a four-love lead, and twice had sequences of six win- ning games. Their covering -of the court and their understanding ware big factors in a well merited success.
