AUSTIN HAS NARROW ESCAPE AGAINST ERIC FILBY

The fortnight's feast at Wimbledon opened yesterday with the hora d'oœuvres offering less of their usual relish, yet bofore a crowd of consumers quite prepared to chat cheerfully at the table in anti- cipation of appoaling dishes to come.

Had Austin failed to lift his game from a rather low level yesterday and hed Filby accepted the chances which the gods offered him in the fourth set, the men's championship would have started with a major sensation the defeat of the second seeded player on the first day.

A really brilliant forehand volley douced the score. He got his own 'vantage point after 'n doubtful decl- ston on the buseline. Then he forced Austin to net and the set was his.
In the second set Austin looked more like a commanding second seed, yet Filby came back in the third set to play inspired tennis. Not all the time, for, after taking the first three games, those errors of timing on the forehand returned.
