game, but the better man won. Doyle

Cake got a good start. and with his
steady side-line passes won the first set.
This set was replete with long rallies

done on either side, both seeming willing
to take their chances on a hard driving
game.
In the second set Doyle resorted to lob
bing. with the result that he was able
to take the net. where his accurate
volleying turned the tide in his favor.
giving him this set by the score of 81.
