TIGER CAPTAIN
WINS NET TITLE
Defeats Davis Cup Champion,
William II, in Three Out
of Four Matches.

Philadelphia, Sept. 19.-George NJ.
Church, captain of the Princeton ten
mis- team and state champion of Della
ware, surprised the tennis world yes
terday by wrestling the intercollegiate
championship from r. Norris Williams
IL, the title holder and national cham
pion.
Church defeated Williams three sets
out of four in the final match of the
34th annual tournament of the Inter
collegiate Lawn Tennis association at
Haverford. One of the largest crowds
that ever witnessed a tennis struggle
in the vicinity of Philadelphia saw the
Davis cup player go down to defeat by
the scores of Sc, 81, 4-6 and rs.
1t was a thrilling battle from start
to finish and save in the third set,
when he was obviously tied, Church
outplayed and outwitted Williams. He
met the champions swift cross court
returns with lob after lob, the ball
landing always within an inch or so of
the back line, giving the Princeton
captain a chance to get up to the net
and "kilI' Williams belated returns.
With only 10 minutes rest Church,
paired with a. NJ. Kidder of Princeton,
won a seminal round doubles match
from Rowland and Disston of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, 60, 6-3, 6-3.
