to finish ard brought out some unusually
fast tennis- Doyle, besides playing a
good net game. placed the ball well,
while his cross court shots proved a
puzzle to Gordon. Doyle won many points
by dropping the balls dead over the
net Il o. -
Gordon, who was formerly District
champion, played good stroke game, but
was weak in his service. He used his whip
stroke 10 much advantage, especially in
the third set which he won by 6-3 In
the ninth game OF the second set the
score was deuced six times before Gordon
finally captured the deciding point.
