Bob Robison and John McNulty are the newly erowned doubles kings of Key West. In a well de- served victory of a- well played match they defeated the strong doubles combination of Peter Vare- la, present city singles champion, and Coach Van 6-2, 5-7, 6-3. The match was as fine as was antici pated as both teams volleyed beau tifully and made many beautiful ground strokes and defensive shots. The Robison-McNulty duo was just a bit more consistent than their | opponents and were helped a grea\ deal by their superiority in height and reach. The only player not playing quit up to par was City champion Vare la as his service was weaker thar usual and his forehand drive dj; not show its usual sting and ac- curacy. Coach Van played his us- ual game and had Pete pulled his game up to the heights it is cap. able of, an upset could have been accomplished. However the under- dogs fought their hearts out all the way and it is a certainty that only outstanding tennis could have beat- en the mighty Robison-McNulty team. The first set was pretty one sided. Coach Van held his first ser- vice to start the match, but this was the only point in which the losers held the lead. Robisons pow- er shots were all working and the winners showed some of the finest doubles ever seen in Key West. The second set was different Coach Van won his first seryice again and Varela finally held his as the underdogs ran off to a 4-1 lead. They brought the score to 5-2 and then things almost got out of hand.
