LONGWOOO TENNIS

There remain only two matches in the

and the outcome is awaited with i'm

this morning and then comes the chal

II must be conceded that Alexander

put IL briefly. their team work was vast
ly superior.
Where Alexander and Hackett are at
their best and il is a question whether
Ward and Wright can stand the terrific
onslaught Of their game. The cardinal
principle that Alexander and Hackett
adhere 10 is to Kill the ball upon the
slightest occasion.
Alexander il consistently steady and
PLAYS with good Judgment. and has a
good service which frequently proves
most disconcf rting to his opponents. The
feature cf Aexa nder and Hacketts play
ing is their steadiness and good judg
ment. They play remark bly, well to-
gether and in their match with Wrenn
and Fnke made very few mistakes
The final singles match AT Longwood
today began at l03o a. m. and this
match means a good deal 10 the follow
ers Of the game. The contest was Ho-

The match between William a. Iarned
