contest with lingo Hartmann. Ewing
made q very slow and unimpressive
start against r. d. Golden, so unimpres-
sive. in fact. that he was unable to win
q single game of the first set Golden,
on the other hand. started superbly,
combining control with severe driving
and breezing through the set in short
order.
The tables were turned completely
however, in the second division of play.
Ewing had found the range of the net
by that time and with everything to
gain and nothing to lose took the ag-
gressive and stroked daringly He fol-
lowed drives to the net and volleyed
well. cutting off well meant passes and
smashing accurately overhead. Once in
stride Ewing never Jagged and 1t was
sharp. interesting tennis the rest of the
way. Golden fought hard and 1t was
anybody's match in the third set until
Ewing broke through service in the
twelfth game.
The victory advanced Ewing to the
round before the semi-final. Four others
to make n similar advance were DIR.
