 The fifteenth annual intercollegiate tennis tournament began at 10 o'clock yesterday morning at the Lawn club grounds on Whitney avenue, The playing was all rapid and snappy and was watched by a large number of ten his enthusiasts. Some of the most in- teresting matches of the entire tour nament will be played this forenoon, beginning at 10 o'clock, when Dodge of Yale will play Foster of Harvard, and Hackett, a Yale freshman, will play Ware, HarVard's famous tennis cham pion. In case either Harvard or Yale wins both the singles and doubles the victorious college will get the cham pionship cup as a permanent trophy. YaleS representatives were yesterday victorious and gave exhibitions of fine play. Dodge of Yale beat Perry of Will | hams in a hotly contested match, con- sidered by some the best of the day. He and Foster of Harvard, with whom he plays this forenoon, are very evenly matched and an exciting contest may | be expected. This forenoon the strug- gle will be between representatives of the old rivals, Yale and Harvard, and the matches to be played promise to be of unusual interest.
