The same valiant team—Gray-Marlow-O'Sullivan-Wilson—braved difficult driving conditions and an unusual taste in Spanish murals as they struggled against the best that Wishel could throw at them. (For those who aren't familiar with it, Wishel is a club of just two courts, one net and 30 carpetbaggers.) Despite Wilson's delicate backhands and tight ball control, the team lost both the league match and the knockout round that the 20 boards represented. | + | ''27th November:'' Well ... our run of successes had to end some time, and it was probably for the best that it ended after just one match.
