victory in doubles of Geoghegan and Carr
over Davidson and Glazebrook, who have
held the championship title in doubles for
many years past. The former pair took two
straight sets. Sc and 6-3. The pairings
today in singles bring together Franklin
Geoghegan, former southern champion, and
j. c. Davidson, former District of Columbia
champion. and 1t Is almost certain that the
winner of this match will be the one who
will face c. B. Doyle. the present District
champion, for that title.
The matches yesterday resulted as fol-

The New York papers have taken it upon

Harvard Working Hard.

There was big crowd out to watch the
Harvard foot ball squad work at Cambridge
yesterday afternoon, and it was given
good chance to give vent to its enthusiasm
by ten minutes scrimmage between the
varsity and second elevens. 1t was as good
a game of foot ball as one could ask to see
SO early in the season, and it gave encour-
runs by the backs, two clean tackles in the
back field by Herman, quarterback on the
second, and good all round playing. The
strength of the second lay in Brill. left
tackle. and Parker, center. both of whom
are freshmen weighing more than two hun
dred pounds and men of considerable foot
ball experience. Nichols played on The
varsity for the first time, and he did soma
good ground gaining. The afternoons prac-
tice was the hardest so far, lasting two
hours.
