All of these verbs not only are more or less of the same meaning in the world of tennis, they are all transitive verbs. For intransitive verbs, see "win". In Spanish, the generic verb "superar" can often mean "to beat", "to defeat", as well as "to surpass", "to go beyond", "to get through" and "to overcome" (el tenista superó (batió) el récord mundial). Nonetheless it is always used transitively. The Spanish verb "ganar" , unlike its intransitive equivalent in English (i.e. win) can become an indirect transitive verb and in so doing takes on the additional meaning of defeating or beating. To rout is to defeat decisively.  3, record 7, English, - defeat

Foot patrol is probably the original type of police patrol. Although it confines the officer to small areas and limits the scope of his activities, foot patrol is still among the most effective of the various types of patrol. The methods of foot patrol consist of the fixed post, line beat, and random patrol. Foot patrol is restricted to small areas, and is used to deal with special problems of prevention and repression that cannot be handled by the officers in radio cars.  1, record 21, English, - foot%20patrol
