OMAR RUMJAHN SHOWS SKILL ON U.S.R.C. COURT

CARRIES HIS PARTNER INTO NEXT ROUND

The defeat of W. C. Hung and Leo Wai-tong yesterday in the hardcourt tennis championship was due to several factors, but chiefly to Omar Rumjahn's genius. The veteran, with many years of hardcourt tennis experience at his finger tips, dominated the concluding stages of a match featured by the fluctuating form of all four players, and out-lobbed, out-smashed and out-manoeuvred the opposition,

Rumjahn backed him up 0-2. with cunning placements, and Hung and Lee were never allowed to get into their stride during the set.

TO-DAY'S PROGRAMME

The following is the programme of matches down for decision to-day:

There was a complete reversal of form in the second set. Hung carried everything before him, while Lee brought off a series of delightful drop volleys and a few choice kills The pair sustained the rally for six games all of which they won, and then followed the reaction.

One noticeable feature of the match was the excellent way in which the winners combined despite the fact that this was their first tournament match together. In contrast Hung and Lee were several times left apreadeagled because one left a shot to the other when not expected. Some easy volleys were missed be- cause of this, while Rumjahn farther exposed the weakness with his magnißleent lobbing.

Rumjahn and Choa played the more thoughtful tennis and
