A NEW Year creed.

10 keep myself from having hate
For them that through their efforts rise
To have the strength to recognize
The qualities that make them great:
To sit not idly blaming fate
When I. shortsishted or unwise.
Have weakly failed to grasp the prize
And wait alone outside the gate;
TO pierce the gloom with shafts OF glee.
To try again when,I have tried
And. though 8. hundred times denied
That which is fair. to bravely be
Undaunted and uncrushed: to see
Their worth who struggle st.my side.
And at the end with decent pride
70 meet vhateser faces me.

JONES HOLDING
OWN IN TENNIS

The 26th national tennis tournament
has now reached the point where they are
only eight of the record breaking fielding
OF entries left for the honor OF challeng-
ing Beals c. Wright. In spite of the
unusually large number OF defaults In the
early rounds. the tournament can al
ready be called a success.
The eight who have earned their way
into the seml-final round are Edgar
Leonard. J. u. E. Jones. f. B. Alex

Wright. r. d. Little and IT. III. Hackett.
These will be paired In the order given
In today's NTH round matches and

The fourth day OF the tournament was
a day Of Importance in bringing the con-
test up 10 its present interesting stage
Only one Of the matches presented any
thing of a problem. for Behr. Alexander

easy matters TO negotiate. 2 The interest

tention as direct as on the heavier carded

The match turned out TO be worthy OF
attention I'm every way. II was fully
up TO expectations. and in drawing out
a victory, three sets 10 two. the young
Canadian champion scored a win that
must have been satisfying to him. Le-
roy played him hard and worked dan
gerously close to the other sets. yet
Wright beat him back, and by sheer
merit secured the match. AS credita BILE
as Leroy's showing was he was hon
estly outplayed.
Once started yesterday Wright played
Leroy right at his own game. and played
with an assurance which indicated how
sure he was OF himself His net game
was more marked than ever since he
has taken IL up. He got more angle to
his shots today. and the speed he put
into them was decidedly of good quality

ness. made sure Of his win. Time upon
time he would be In the right place. but
in almost every case he would pull out
in the steadiest way possible.
Deroy's exhibition was entirely credit
able. He used tactics similar TO those
OF his other matches. but where he was
fairly steady in them today he was un-
even, particularly in the critical stages
OF the contest In the first two sets he
was successful in a marked degree in
working by Wright. and in the rallies.
