MATCH

(By "Varitaa"),

Sirdar Rumjahn, who, with his cousin, H. D. Rumjahn figures as leading challenger to Tui Wai-pui's supremacy in the open singles tennis cham- pionship yesterday enjoyed ong of those entries into the second round most kindly decribed as "Easy".

But at the start of the second half Al Marsters, one of the greatest lacks of all time, took matters into his oven hands. He hit the line with the fury of an enraged grizzly, and in six plays covered almost 60 yards for a touchdows. In five minutes bo had plunged for another.
