English blue noses are in the air. The nasal elevation is the result of 'certain press photographs of women tennis players in action. The pictures illustrate with unconscious frankness the calf and knee as well as the racket and wrist combining in the fine gesture of the forehand drive...
...school, where he proved neither a model boy nor a sissy, developed a passion for the theatre and had several timidly distant affairs of the heart, which never got beyond the dumbly adoring stage.

Fitton has not yet recovered from the blow he received on the mouth from a ball that bounced poorly for him, and Hoffman's knee has stiffened as the result of a foul tip which struck him on the knee-cap.
