SIXTEEN SURVIVORS

Competitors in Wimbledon Singles Reduced From 128 ANDREWS TO MEET AUSTIN VAN RYN EXTENDS PERRY (United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph Copyright). Received 1 p.m. to-day. LONDON, June 27. Four Englishmen, three Australians, three Americans, a New Zealander, a Frenchman, a Spaniard, a German, u. Jugoslavian and a Czechoslovakian comprise the 10 survivors of the 128 starters in the singles at Wimbledon. Andrews (New Zealand) survived to meet Austin by eliminating Olliff, a polished stroke player, who does not shine in long matches. The weather was overcast. Budge ’s, celebrated backhand worked splendidly against Quist, often leaving the Australian standing, and the American won convincingly. The match McGrath- versus Legeay was patchy to watch, the ’Frenchman finding his customary accuracy had deserted him. Crawford had a hard fight against Hccht, a sturdy Czechoslovakian youth, who made many magnificent recoveries.

Van Ryn, appreciating the faster surface, gave Perry a fright, extending the champion to eighteen games in the fourth set. He showed that a strong net 'attack to Perry’s backhand paid. Cdrs Wills-f Moody wias brilliant against Mrs York. She played a mixed game of hard drives and short, low shots. Result's are:—
