By GNO SINn

By GINO SIM
For the last two years the com.
bination Of Bob Considine and
Tom Mangan spelt disaster and
devastation to the other local
tennis doubles teams in every
tournament. There were a half
dozen teams which when at the
height of their game could give
this duet desperate struggle on
certain days, but they would lose
ultimately and offer no great re-
sistance at the next meeting. But
now they have deal Of power.

and Eddie YoemanS, who are
blasting strong opponents into
limbo with precision and dis
patch. They seem to have q
game which can adapt itself to
whatever form Of play their op-
ponentS may produce.

glory since the current tennis sea-
son started in real earnest. He

himself, but he was not ranked
last year.
But this year he has achieved
an unbeatable form. Outstand.
