TSUI YUN-PUI FULLY EXTENDED BY C. K. CHAN

SPLENDID MATCH IN HARDCOURT TENNIS TOURNEY

LEE WAI-TONG, CRAWFORD UNABLE TO COMPLETE TIE

By "Vertian")

Driving ferociously on the forchand, Taui Yun-pui and C. K. Chan yesterday indulged in what is likely to be the quickest tempo match in the current hardcourt tennis championships. Taui ultimately won 6-4, 4-6, 6-2, but even if he advances through the remaining four rounds of the tournament, it is not likely that he 'will meet with stiffer opposition.

SECOND RENSHAWS, SAYS WALLIS MYERS Create Record In Winning Public Schools' Doubles

The full story of how the Shute twins, Kenneth and Warwick, former competitors in the Colony tennis cham- pionships, won the Public Schools' Doubles Tennis Cham- pionship of England, and at the same time established a new record, is now to hand.

The Shute boys amazed everybody by going through the tourney without losing a set, and finally, winning the final by 6-0, 6-0. They beat the Charterhouse pair J. Michelmore and D. N. Cobbold in the ultimate round.

Mr. A. Wallis Myers, commenting on the match in the Daily Telegraph said: "Another record was establish- ed when the twin brothers Shute of King's, Rochester, won the doubles final in two love sets.
