VITAL TEAM CHANGES
FOR TO-DAY'S SENIOR SHIELD FINAL

THE SICK LIST.
TEAMS MEET FOR THIRD TIME IN FOUR
YEARS: BORDERERS' 4TH FINAL
(By "Veritas”),
Leung Wing-chui, South China centre-half, has been omitted for this afternoon's Senior Shield final against the Bordorers. This is the bombshell which the selectors have dropped, and certainly they could have made no more sur- prising move in their efforts to obtain a winning team.

The board of directors of the I. 1. lawn tennis association has made important decisions dur- ing its recent meeting, both of na- tional importance. Dr. Vicente Japson, veteran tennis player and a member of the Samahang 38 has been named coach of the P. I. tennis team which will participate in the Far Eastern tennis classics. The dates for the 1934 national tennis tournament were also set, The appointment of Dr. Japson as coach of the olymple tennis team has been received favourably by the officials of the P.A.A.F., ít was learned from a member of the federation. Dr. Japson will pro- ceed to train the candidates for the team. During the last few “weeks he was taking charge of the training of Leonardo Gavia, Jr., triple champion of the Philippines. The players selected by the P. I. lawn tennis association to take part in the olympic try-oute are Leonardo. Gavia, Felix Ampon and Rodrigo Diaz, singles, and Zamora- Diy and the Aragon brothers in the doubles. Mrs. Elisa R. Ochoa and Minnes Estrella Alburo, Belen Calma and Minda Ochoa havo been selected to compete in the try-outs for the women's olympic tennis team.
