...Canadian trip is also tentatively arranged for the same weekend, with debates at Mt. Allison and Dalhousie...
...fairy tale, the unanimous choice of the judges was No Second Spring, first published novel of an unknown 28-year-old English girl. Some readers may think the book a queer selection for these days, but many may find in its stilted, sampler-like pattern an old-fashioned charm. Allison was many years younger than Hamish, her stalwart, fiery-souled preacher-husband. It had never occurred to her to doubt that she loved him: she had several children to prove it, and in Scotland in those times (early 19th Century) speculation about "love'' was not encouraged...
Meanwhile, another Australian team that no one had thought much about was doing much better than anyone expected. Young Donald Quist and Don Turnbull beat Allison and Van Ryn, who have been U. S. doubles champions or runners-up since 1931, 15-13, 0-6, 6-1, 7-5. That bracketted them with Lott & Stoefen in one half of the semifinals.

For England, at least, Perry is the No. 1 player of 1933. He beat McGrath. then Allison and Vines, then Cochet and Merlin in this year's Davis Cup matches. If he gets what he calls a "good win:" over Crawford, whom he has not played this year, it will be in the final at Forest Hills, because they will doubtless be in opposite halves...
