They danced about and fiddled for an opening, sparred for wind, and did all the fancy footwork of the fifth-class fighter, but they seldom came together except in clinches. The referee, the Christchurch Kid, was the martyr, for he had to pull them apart every minute. The rounds were of two minutes' duration, and the rests one minute.
And fiery Bill, like a wrestler, pranced to and fro for an opening. Rage filled him to the throat, but never for an instant did it cloud his vision. Jan's instinct kept him still, warning him that he was too heavy now for the lightning footwork of the wolves, that his sole chance lay in his strength, and that by the same token his strength must be conserved. Whoof! Tsss!
"No," said Lanyard, reflective "no, I was quite all right in the morning. But I think I owe you one." "Afraid you do; and it's going to be my duty and pleasure to cheat you out of your revenge if fast footwork will do it." "But where was Captain Monk all the while?"
"And we've got to use the time we have to find some way to break for it." Johnny stood up, staring around the luxurious lounge. "If you want my opinion, it's going to take some pretty fancy footwork to get out of here with our skins." True to his word, Tawney had given them the freedom of the ship. Greg and Johnny discovered that their guard was also an excellent guide.
The American champion is one of the really great orthodox players in the world. There is nothing eccentric, nothing freakish about his game. Johnston is a small man, short and light; but by perfect weight-control, footwork, and timing he hits with terrific speed. His service is a slice. Hit from the top of his reach Johnston gets power and twist on the ball with little effort.
Standing up fairly, with little footwork, but displaying much more speed, Dick Prescott drove in blow after blow in such bewildering succession as to all but daze the yearling. Bang! Kramer's right eye was half closed just as Cadet Jennison called the end of the first round.
The youngest of the Australasian players and a boy of great promise is Jack Hawkes. He is only 22 and young in the game for his age. Let me state now I do not approve of Hawkes' style. His footwork is wrong, hopelessly wrong and I fear that unless he corrects it, it may keep him from attaining the place his natural abilities promise.
Shedding frightful blows with only an angry shake of his head, he would lower it and charge as a wild boar charges, while his huge arms flew like lunatic connecting-rods. The cleverest footwork could not always elude his tremendous rushes, the coolest ducking and dodging could not wholly escape that frantic shower of fists.
Dave was up on his feet. Pen tried to make a quick rush, but Darrin dodged cleverly, them wheeled and faced his opponent as the latter wheeled about. After that there was less footwork. Both men stood up to it, as keenly alert as they could be, each trying to drive home heavy blows. While they were still at it the call of time sounded.
He is a fine natural player just below the top flight. He is an excellent strategist, and mixes his shots very well. He has exceptionally fast footwork, and repeatedly runs around his backhand to chop diagonally across the court in a manner very similar to Johnson. B. I. C. Norton, the South African champion, a youngster of twenty, is a phenomenal player of extreme brilliancy.
