M. and M. J. Fogarty it ts doubtful if it would have won had they played, as Canterbury comfortably won the men’s section by 8 matches to Although B. A. Foster (Otago) won his singles matches, be did not play with the same assurance as in previous matches this season. His form could have been attributed to bls losing some of bls confidence because of his heavy defeats by the English players, D. Neale and S. Gibbs.
