VETERAN TO WIN

Younger Tsui And

Out

Tsui Wai-pui was the only veteran to survive the quarter-finals

of the Open Singles at the HKCC yesterday. Both the Rumjahn cousins went down to younger players and Tsui Yun-pui, although he showed a good deal of fight in the second set, proved no match for last year's Colony Champion, Ip Koon-hung.

The Stand Court was packed for the Ip-Tsui encoun- ter and standing room spectators were three or four deep. Some sparkling tennis was seen that saw the younger Toul retrieve impossibles again and again only to be out- 'manoeuvred and go down 6-3, 10-8,

Three Game Struggle WALCOTT &

In Senior Doubles

Last night's matches in the Colony Badmin- ton Championships were featured by a minor upset, two close games, and a good amount of very erratic play contributed to from the best quarters,

-

The minor upset came in the Men's Senior Doubles with the Recreio pair, M. A. Oliveira and J. J. Remedios, con- sidered slightly better on paper, going down to the com- bination of W. F. Foo (Sing Tao) and T. S. Young (Chinese YMCA)..

The match went into a gruelling three games, a five up being called in both the first and second games. Both pairs put on an eye-catching and drop exhibition of smashes

but neither of the four shorts
