HARVARD WINS TENNIS
Hackett and Allien Beaten in Inter-
collegiate Tournament.
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.

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.
