PATRICK WONG TAKES

VANAR'S
Sing Tao's Patrick Wong did not permit University's S. A. Vanar to rush him off his feet in the semi-final of the Senior Singles Cham pionship at Club de Recreio last night "and" won. handily at 17-14, 15-4.
Wong had all of the play after the first four polūts in the second game and¦ won on superior courtcraft and grand · form. There were some, including myself, who favoured Vanar to beat Wong und I still think the Univer- vity player quite capable of it if only he will concentrate on improving his drop shot...:
It looked in the first game as, though Wong would fall easily before Vanar's pace. The first four points were hard-fought but thon Vanar ran into a 9-6 lend and seemeil just about to run off with the first game.
Wong steadied to catch up 10ites in the dual against Recretu's 9-all and then tralled once more at A. Bayot and F. M." Ribeiro. 12-14. Vanar seemed unable to capture

that ace might have meant victory in match as well as game and Wong, at this stage, was just beginning to touch

his best form.
He was at his best only in the second game when his courtcraft and his placing was superb while Vanor kept hitting the net at every other attempt to drop the shuttle.
