T. N Jayne escape defeat in the second round
of singles with Nels Werner, former champion
player of the University of Minnesota. Werner

has been doing any practice work on the courts
for the past year. Jayne took Werners wind
somewhat in the first set, but the younger player

and third set contained many deuce games.
