TOMORROW’S FIXTURES SCHOOLS’ TOURNAMENT CHAMPION OF CHAMPIONS The annual champion of champions tournament for primary schools, conducted by the Franklin Lawn Tennis Association will be held on the Pukekohe courts tomori’ow, starting at 9 a.m. Entries received so far are well up to the average of previous years and as late entries will be received up to the time of starting, it is probable they will constitute a record The following have been received so far: — Girls: W. Potter (Aka Aka), Selma Ccles (Onewhero), Gwen Forbes (Ramarama), Ila Needham (Patumahoe), Bunty Day (Puni), Betty Oswin (Pukekohe), Mabel Perry (Maioro), Lenore Logan (Pukekawa), Gwen Jamieson (Waiuku).

Hull (Buckland), Allen Furmage (Patumahoe), Peter Gopsey (Puni), Ivan Clark (Pukekohe), Anthony Marshall (Waiuku). Last year’s winner of the girls’ championship, Gwen Forbes, is again competing, and as she has since strengthened her game she will be hard to beat. In the boys’ division, A. Seeley, last year’s boy champion, is still within the age limit but as he is attending the Technical High School he is not eligible. The runner-up, A. Walker, is - competing and should go near to winning this year. B GRADE FINAL The final match of the season under the Franklin Association will be played tomorrow on the Pukekohe East Courts when Suburban and Pokeno meet to decide the B grade championship. .
