voleying that was one Of the deciding
factors IN the match. Washburn was
sound at all points. passing beautifully
when the opposing pair had been
drawn into the net position, and his
fast low drives gained many points.

Washburn was gradually tuning up his

range OF the court.
After the games had gone to 2-all in
the second set Mathey first showed
signs of faltering, losing the fifth game
on his own service on double fault

Washburn started to lob, timing
these tosses beautifully and placing
them very deep. Al first Mathey han
died them very well, but then he began
to crash MS returns into the net and
thereafter his whole game slumped
permitting Washburn to forge steadily
ahead.

part Of the feminine stars have seen
