Harvard’s representatives in the nine- teenth annual tournament of the Inter- collegiate Tennis Association, held on the New Haven Lawn Club courts on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of last week, returned to Cambridge with victories to their credit in both the single and double matches. The number of entries was somewhat smaller than usual owing to the absence of the Cornell representative, but the play was up to the usual high standard of these intercollegiate tournaments, as a number of men of national repute in ‘ennis circles were included among the ‘competitors. The weather conditions lhroughout were ideal and the more im- portant matches attracted liberal num- bers of interested spectators. INTEREST IN THE DOUBLES. The progress of the. doubles was fol- lowed with special interest, as Holcomb Ward and D. H.-Davis:of: Harvard: and H: H. Hackett; 1960 -and J. A, iAllen, 1900.8., of Yale, the winners of the Eastern and Western doubles respec- tively during the past season and whose match at Newport resulted in a victory for the Harvard men, were numbered among the five pairs entered. early rounds, Ward and Davis defeated Hi." A.: Plummer, Yale. 1003,-and.C. F. Childs, Yale 1901 S., 6-3, 6-1; and the Princeton pair, R. D. Little and Fred- erick Alexander, 7-5, 6-3; Hackett and Allen in turn disposed of E. R. Marvin and Thomas of Harvard, 4-6, 6-4, 6-1. The finals were nlayed on Thursday morning, when the Yale men made a somewhat firmer stand against the national champions than at Newport, but again suffered defeat in four sets, 6-2, 6-3, 4-6, 6-4. The Harvard repre- sentatives were more steady at critical times and their fierce service and clever lobbing were effective against Hackett’s strong smashes and Allen’s ground strokes. The finals in the singles Thursday afternoon brought together as oppo- nents Harvard’s victorious double pair. Davis was in fine form and won without difficulty in’ straight sets, 6-3, 7-5, 7-5. Ward used his accurate lob and short cut strokes with considerable effect, but Davis’ smashes were invincible. ; THE BEST MATCH OF THE MEETING. The Hackett-Ward . match second round afforded the most excit- ing tennis of the tournament. After losing the first set,.6-3, Hackett pulled out the second 7-5, working up from 2-4. The deciding set, however, was Ward’s, 6-4. The Harvard. man’s play was steady and aggressive’ while .Hackett on the contrary was decidedly erratic, spoiling the advantage of his brilliant placing by frequent wild drives. In*the:. in the Allen’s work against Davis in the semi-finals was thoroughly disappoint- ing, as he only succeeded in winning one game out of the two sets. A complete record of the tournament follows: Singles—Preliminary round, H. H. Hackett (Y.) defeated J. Ogden (P.), 8-6, 6-22 First round, J, A. Allen (Y.) defeated E. R.
