%quash -Rackets. DRYSDALE CUP. The School was represented in the Drysdale Cup (the Junior Amateur 'Championship of Great Britain), at the Royal Automobile Club, by J. W. Stead and S. K. Kazerooni. The Championship was held from Wednesday, 24th April, to the following Wednesday. Stead had a bye into the second round and figured in the best match of the day when he just beat H. A. P. Heaslop (Wellington), 9-6, 1-9, 10-8, 6-9, 9-7. The St. Peter's first string played some really good angle shots and deserved his win. In the third round, the last 16, he was beaten by C. S. Panchand (Lancing), 5-9, 2-9, 8-10. Panchand was on top in the first two games, but Stead made a great fight in the third game, which was desperately fought. The result might have been different if Stead had made a quicker start. In the first round Kazerooni beat J. A. flallows (Marlborough), 7-9, 9-2, 9-6, 9-3. The former found difficulty in keeping on his feet, but after dropping the first game he soon settled down to win the next three comfortably. He beat D. C. M. Tomilson (Tonbridge), 9-4, 9-0, 9-3, the latter :having difficulty in returning Kazerooni's service.
