LEE WAI-TONG NOT FORCEFUL ENOUGH TO WIN

U.S.R.C. TOURNEY

H. D. Rumjahn's advance to the quarter-finals of the hard- court singles tennis championship at the expense of Lee Wai-tong yesterday did not reveal the Indian in his most compelling form, but he played sound enough a game to overcome the Chinese, who tried desperately hard to slow down the exchanges in order to throw Rumjahn out of rhythm.

The winner, however, despite the) comparative success of Lee's drop shots, had a sumelent number of strokes at his command to counter these tacties and very often he was able to race in and make Lee's drop shot a boomerang,

Nichols' Double May Be The Only One

London, Aug. 26. Nichols looks like being the only one this season to land the cricketer's double. He has done so, of course. Ho always does, but a study of the figures shows that none of his rivals such as Pope, P. Smith, Todd, Andrews and Martin are likely to bring it off.

Last year eight players did the 1,000 runs-100 wickets feat. This summer Nichols has the honour to himself.
