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

SPLENDID MATCH IN HARDCOURT TENNIS TOURNEY

LEE WAI-TONG, CRAWFORD UNABLE TO COMPLETE TIE

(By "Veritas")

Driving ferociously on the forehand, Tsui Yun-pui and C. K. Chan yesterday indulged in what is likely to be the quickest tempor match in the current hardcourt tennis championships. Tsui 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 hol will meet with stiffer opposition,
