Miss Gilleaudeau Doomed
To those who watched the progress
oi tlie III was CVlQCnb tiidb -hlsS
Gilleaudeau, in spite of her plucky re-
sistance and great covering, was doomed
to defeat from the start. She could not
face Miss Goss's exceptional speed and
pace on an equal footing, in spite Of all
her hard running and great getting
ability, and this became more apparent
in the second set, where, although she
took the fifth and seventh games, Miss
Gilleaudeau was overwhelmed by the
pace set by her tall opponent.
Miss Goss did not go for the net with
her usual frequency, being content to
stay in back court most of the time and
trade her swift drives, with the slower
strokes of her rival. Miss Gilleaudeau
was placing extremely we'll. but when
she needed her deciding points Miss
Goss generally managed to end matters
by moving up toward the net and vol
leying. Occasionally she smashed with
fine precision and unusual power when
a short lob came to her

Miss Giileaudeau started the service
in the second set, but Miss Gosz won
that and the next shree games, giving
her lead of 40. She was playing
beautifully from every position in the
court, moving up into fore court when
her forcing shots had paved the way
Her overland volleying was so sharp
and accurately placed that Miss Gilleau-
deau was often caught wide of position,
and even when she did get her racquet
on the ball, the best she could do was
to put up weak defensive returns.
In the fifth game Miss Gilleaadeau.
by dint Of great court covering and
the placing of her returns close . the
corner of deep COURT won her first
game of the match. Miss Goss re-
taliated by winning the sixth at 'tlove,"
