SNOOKER TITLES
Yesberg In Final (N.Z. Press Association) AUCKLAND. Sept. 1. Two Canterbury plavers, T Yesberg. the title-holder, and R. Franks,, and two Auckland players, B. Clapham and W Cullen, survived the penultimate day of the national snooker championships today, each with one life. Under the two-life system Yesberg will contest the final tomorrow and the other three will play two matches earlier in the day to decide his opponent. Today both Franks and Yesberg began with two Uves. Franks beat Yesberg in four frames in Ute first match of the dav. In the evening match, however, Yesberg was by far the steadier—even if the run of the balls did not favour Franks—and won in straight frames. Results were:— Franks beat Yesberg. 58-21. 36-52. 57-41. 55-33; Cullen beat R. King (Auckland). 36-61. 6241. 69-17. 55-23; Clapham beat L. Glozier (Southland), 74-12. GASS. 46-18: Yesberg beat Franks, 64-53, 62-49, 58-26
