Brownlee beaten
PA Wellington. Taranaki’s tenacious Murray Lilley doggedly maintained his present squash superiority over New Zealand’s top professional, Bruce Brownlee, at Wellington last evening. In a match lasting 106 minutes, Lilley .beat Brownlee. 5-9, 9-6, 3-9, 94, 9-5. in the Ballins sponsored series. The match was a typical encounter between the pair, with
Brownlee’s greater variety of shots pitted against the more dour style of Lilley. Mohibullafa Khan, ranked No. 3 in the world, maintained his unbeaten record on the tour when he beat the world No. 5 seed and fellow countryman, Gogi Alauddin, 9-7. 4-9, 6-9, 9-1, 9-1. It was rather a relaxed match between the two slightly built Pakistanis, who displayed great artistry.
