The singles match between Miss
1nderstein and Mrs. Wood was the
srst event to be played yesterday, with
Mss Caroma Winn holding the UNI
nireis chair. Miss Zinderstein started
IN in runaway fashion, outplaying MRS.
Wood from every position In the court,
as she 'volleyed and thundered' her
returns so swiftly and with such fine
nsee that the former champion of Flor
ids was frequently caught several feet
out of position.
Six games in row went to the Bos-
ton girl, who was making beautiful

Mrs. Wood Changes Tactics

for she won three games out OF tne

Wood shot some of her returns shors

The Boston star was never sure Of
herself then and frequently fubbed
the return. Mrs. Wood also earned
many points with brilliant backhand
yolleys across court, some of these
shots bordering on the impossible and
taking Miss Zinderstein. by surprise.
Yet, in spile Of Mrs. Woods hard
light, Miss Zinderstein always looked

Miss Wagner dominated the court in
her match with Mrs. Waring, her club
mate, and always seemed perfectly
confident Of her ability to win. After
taking the first three games in the
opening set, she encountered unexpect-

ran the score up to 3-4.
