Playing consistently, Robson and Nish scored on 11 hends against their opponents' ten, hut what really gave them their wide margin of victory were the two fives which diey re- gistered in the course of the match, the first on the seventh head and the second on the 17th. Apart from these two fives, there was very little in the Ecoring of the two pairs,

Robson and Nish, however, led all the way, 6-1 on the Afth, 15-0 on the tenth, 16-10 on the 15th and 24-16 un the 20th.

In the Singles, the most peculiar game was seen on the Hongkong F.C. Kreen, where A. M. Omar defeated a club-mate, E. Zimmern, by 21-10. On the seventh head Zimmern
