different. II took q games to decide
the FIRST set in favor Of the southern
ers at l3 10 II. The Berkeley team
rallied in the second and won it out
easily 1T 60. The third set found
both teams working hard for every
point and the match only came TO an
end when the brother team scored two
points in a row and made the score

The match between Mel Long and
". Dawson and r. Hunt and Percy
Murdock was an interesting one, and
after Hunt and Murdock annexed the

down and their opponents went in and
took chances and captured the next
four games, set and match.
