OOuLlnueu FROM rage 40
day yesterday. Two of the wom-
en- stars, Mrs. Ann Gray and
Marjorie Norris, were defeated
while Kahl Spriggs. ranked 10
in the seniors for 1854, won his
match comfortably. His score
was 60, 60. over John H.
Gray. jr., of New York.
Mrs. Gray lost to Carmen
Lampe of Forest Hills, 6-3.
As, Ga, and Miss Norris lost
to Mrs. Sylvia Simonin of Phil
adelphia, 6-4. Ga.
In losing her match, Mrs. Gray
played a tremendously coura-
geous contest. Down one set
and behind Al, the Washington
star rallied her game and fought
back to take the next five and
the set.
The key game was the sew
enth one. with the former Roll
Inns College star serving. She
pulled up to add after being
behind 0-40, it looked as though
Ann was through. But Mrs.
Gray deuced the score with a
beautiful backhand drive down
the sideline. went ahead to add
again on a backhand drop shot
from deep court. and closed out
the game with a sharply sliced
forehand that brought an error
from the recent Eastern Inter-
collegiate tennis champion.
The first game of the third
set told the story for that chap
ter. With Mrs. Gray serving,
the score went back and forth
to deuce eight times before Miss
Lampe won it with a drive that
hit the top of the net, fingered
uncertainty a moment, and then
dropped Imply into court as
Ann looked helplessly on.
Mrs. Simonin and Miss Norris
waged close battle. with the
Philadelphia star getting the
needed points at critical times.
Miss Norris missed several daring
sideline drives in the first set
that might have turned the tide
her way if they had gone in.
Even though she only got two
games in the second chapter. all
of them were close and hard
fought.
