...CRIMSON regrets deeply to admit that error like a foul, cankerous growth crept unnoticed and uninvited into its editorial sanctum to contaminate, if not totally infect a comment labelled "Let Them See" in the issue of October 14.

He made nine service aces in the first set. But a series of lucky placements by LaCoste, and the evident willingness of the Frenchman to spend all his reduced vitality...
