Cardinal Freshmen Takes
Tennis Honors

STANFORD UNIVERSITY. Feb. 27.--
For the first time in several years the
championship of Stanford university in
tennis has been won by a freshman
student Today H. S. Morgan, a first
year man. registerig from San Diego.
defeated Horace Mann of San Fran
cisco, who represented the juniors in
straight sets by an easy score. This
phenomenal victory of a first year man
has turned the eyes of all the experts
to the possibilities of the freshman
class for coming material for the var
sity. The match today was the final
of the interclass singles tournament
started some time ago.
Morgan won all the games in the
tournament of his own class and then
beat the best player OF the sophomores
while Mann triumphed over the junior
players and in turn defeated the best
of the senior class.
Morgan played a hard. aggressive
game. and had every stroke in control
while upon the other hand Mann was
generally conceded TO have had an off
day. Morgan won the first set with
the loss of but a single game and re-
peated the performance in the second
round. In the third and last set Mann
was only able TO take two of the games
from the first year man.
Morgan viii probably enter in the
tournament to try out for varsity hon
ors, and If he keeps up his present
good record should be in line to repre-
sent the cardinal against the blue and
gold this year.

at the stadium on the second Sunday

The roller race held by the Oakland
wheelmen Friday night was produce
tive of quite a scandal. The race was
won by the New Century wheelmen of
this city, but under conditions that
rob that organization of some of its
glory. +. McTighe. one of the Oakland
riders, had wheel built which lust fit
the rollers across the bay and was
a
ization. knowing this, limited the gears
in the tryout to $50. This, of course,
put McTighe and his special wheel out
of the competition and made him
rather sore at his eliminates. He took
revenge by surreptitiously loaning his
wheel TO Laye, one Of the New Century
riders. The latter from a standing
start rode two miles in 81 3-5, which
enabled his team to, win the race.
Needless to say, McTighe is not over
popular with his eliminates, who have
not as yet decided just what action
will be taken in his case

ciated cyclers which was scheduled to
take place last week has been post
