Maui has some excellent players
and with good courts, 1t, is expected
that the Valley Island racquet WELD
ers will produce some stars who will
go after the Hawaiian championship.
Lindsay and Thomson showed to form
in the doubles, and Burns and Burns
also make a nice combination. Ray

nish some excellent play in the very
near future.
