LO BROTHERS' SMART WIN IN TENNIS TOURNAMENT

"M. W." CAPTURES 1929

DRIVING FORM

KWOK AND LUK DING-CHEONG

OUT-GENERALLED

KENNETH SHUTE SHOOTS HIS BOLT

Thanks to a clever win yesterday M. W. and M. K. Lo will | meet the Rumjahn cousins in the open doubles championship for the second time in eight years. The previous encounter was in the 1932 semi-final when the cousins won 6-0, 6-1, 5-7, 6-1.

The forthcoming match is for

right of entering the semi-final of the current championship, and if the Lo brothers should be success- ful, this will_be_their_fourth ap- pearance in the Last Four. They were eam-finalists in 1931- and 1929.

Against Tennle Kwok and Luk Ding-cheong yesterday M. W. Lo produced some of his 1929 form, driving with delightful ∙skill and necuracy and scoring mány "outright points by his adrlot placements which in turn found either the middle of the court or the tramlines.

Ho, was very savere on anything short of a length, meeting the ball on the early rise with his short awing forehand and catching his opponents at their feet with fast shots.At the net M. W. flashed out some of his best volleys, obtaining angle without sacrificing force. Behind him. M. K. Lọ lobbed splendidly and maintained ground stroke rallies in his own imperturbable manner often creat- ing openings for his brother's finishing shots.

WHERE YOUTH FAILED The losers, despite their youth and enthusiasm did not play with the same understanding. They exposed large gaps of the courti

Leo Wai-tong, who yesterday beat Kenneth Shute in the open tennis championship.

when going up to the not and their i Stefani

lobbing was not consistently good.

Individually Tennie Kwok was far better than Luk, who suffered a distinct "off day," Luk was not "seeing the ball and too many times committed errors while poaching.

The clever way in which the Lo's judged tho match and applied pressure at the right moment was worthy of auch old campaigners and it was in the matter of tactles tijat they scored so often. On such form the brothers' will by no means disgrace themselves against the champions.

Lee Wai-tong qualified to play E C. Fincher in the third round of the singles by eliminating Kenneth Shute in straight sets.
