One of the most interesting of this season's squash matches took place last night at the Rowing Club courts when L. D. Carson representing the home team defeated D. Green of the Foreign Y.M.C.A. by 9-2, 9-3, 3-9, 9-7, to win the decisive match in the semifinal of the Knockout Tournament, thereby enabling the Rowing Club to qualify for the final where they meet the Race Club. The final match will take place next Tuesday.
Last night's match produced some good rallies and although the score indicated an easy victory for sach player in turn in the first three games, there were very good rallies and the fourth game was a grand struggle, Carson's hard and aggressive play succeeded in driving Green to the back corners where his retrieves were not as successful as usual and quite often the ball failed to reach the front wall on his returns.
The Rowing Club player also used the favourite cross court shot into the corners from the service and has developed a good drop shot into the front corners which, brought off a number of points. Another factor in Carson's favour was his ability to play shots along the side wall and Green in the first two games could hot pick these off the side walls, losing point after point thet way.
The loser played a number of clever drop shots and his soft placements were good, but he was not as accurate Repeat for one day only! at 2.30, 5.00, 7.00 and 9.15 p.m.
