INTERCOLLEGIATE TENNIS
Harvard Players Win Two Matches in
Doubles Tourney,

PHILADELPHIA. Oct. Harvard
bids fair to make a clean sweep of the
honors In the intercollegiate champion
ship lawn tennis tournament now in
progress on the courts of the Merton
Cricket Club. Becau of the inclem-
ent weather yesterday the singles Went
over until today. OF the three matches
in doubles Harvard won two.
Pennsylvania's hopes for a cham
pionship in the doubles were largely
dissipated by the defeat of II. M. TIL
den and H. B. Register by G. P. Gard
ner and C Pell, of Harvard. The
Pen~nsylvanians were the favorites be-
fore the match, owing to their victory
over a strong Yale pair on the previous
day. They started out well, winning
the first set at 6--3, but could not hold
the pace and lost the next two sets at
6--1, Ga.
The winners will meet S. Gordon and
w. Gerlach, of Princeton, who scored
an easy victory over Merris and Kelker.
of Cornell.
N. w. Niles and A. Dabney, of Harvard,
defeated ]. Jones and N. Fl. Bundy, of
Yale, in the third match at 7-5, 6-S. De-
spite Niles's deceptive twist service and
the steady playing of his partner, the Yale
men brought the games to a 5 all in the
first set, displaying excellent team work.
All four Harvard men are favorites for
the places in the semi-final round in
singles, and the chances are that the final
in doubles will also contain only
Harvard players. ,
The eight survivors in the singles are
drawn as follows: Third round-Tilden,
Pennsylvania, VS.. Niles, Harvard; H.
Bundy, Yale, VS.. Pell, Harvard; Philler,
Pennsylvania, VS.. Gardner, Harvard; Reg
lister, Pennsylvania, vs. Dabney, Harvard.
The summary of the play yesterday fol-
lows:
Doubles (second round)-G. P. Gardner
and c. Pell, Harvard, beat II. M. Tilden
6-1, 6-3; w. Gerlach and S. Gordon,
Princeton, beat e. Merris and Il. NJ, KEEL
