BY Sol Metzger,

1t is almost impossible to guard
an ut-of bounds player 50 closely
rs to prevent him making an un-
-nolested pass. The best thing to
do is for the guard to play back on
the floor. Let him make his pass,
and then cover him when he comes
on the court.
The trouble with blocking such
pass as 1t is started is that you
would probably knock 1t out of
bounds again. That automatically
gives the ball to the opponent.
Play the man who tosses the ball
in from out OF bounds when he be-
comes dangerous-that is, when he
re-enters the court. This is espe-
cially necessary when the opponent
has the ball out Of bounds under
his basket.

Mrs. Molla Mallory will arrive here
in time to watch Mile. Lenglen and
Miss Wills play. 1t is said the former
American champion does not intend to
play tennis along the Riviera
Both Mile. Lenglen and Miss Wills
are in fine form for u match. Miss
Wills in her play yesterday showed a
varied and diversified game against
Miss Bennett of England, whom she
defeated in straight sets, 6-2. 60.
She worked her fast forehand and
cross-court drives with great speed.
Her backhand was the best seen in
these parts. Her overhead game, how
ever, still lacks steadiness.
Suzanne went through her match
with Lady Roundway without the loss
of a game. Miss Wills watched her
prospective opponent Of Tuesday as
she made her shots with uncanny pre-
cisiOn and with her usual steadiness.
The French girl thus far has not lost
game during the tournament and
says she hopes to keep this record
until after the final match is played.
Il want to reach the final without
the loss OF a game" said Mile. Leng
len, after her match. "If l am going
to lose a game in this tournament
they will have to get it out of me at
the point of a gun
The correspondent asked: Does this
mean that you expect to beat Miss
Wills in straight love SETS"
Never mind about Miss Wills she
replied. II am talking about the tour
nament, not the final. l wish you
would not keep pestering me with
questions about Miss Wills"
Miss Wills said: II am satisfied with
