The match that attracted the greatest
interest yesterday was between youhs
Murray the seventeen-year-old can
fornia marvel, and C. \. i. Dionne' the
captain of the West Side team once
more did Murray cause gasps OF amaze
mont by the speed with which ne
leelea of the games and by his aH-arou'u
work on the court
Dionne played the game OF his me- AS
he himself admitted. and held the west
orn youth to a score of @ in the first
set but I'm the last the boy woulu ho'
be denied. and closed with rush, 'ah'he
the set and match at 81.
Dionnr. 2 tried tournament player re-
sorted 10 craftily placed lobs in the hIs'
SGT TO hold Murray in the back or MS
court. His efforts were partially success
fuI and the Californian did not sweep TO
the net as frequently or as swiftly Dis
is his wont.
When the play began in the second set'
however the Leland Stanford youth
enoeded m his strokes His service was
Ga severe that Dionne was hard put 10 II
IN merely get the ball back, without at
tenpting TO place it. Then when Dlohhe
started again with his lobhing Murray
caught the balls high over his head anu
sent them crashing through MS oppo-
nent's court for kills
Dionne sought to avoid Murray
deadly certainty overhead by looolls
deeper. but he could only escape inc
Californian's terrific smashes by putting
the hall out Of court. Everything else
was caught on Murray's racquet ana sent
hurting back.
THAT boy is wonderful-wonderful!
Dionne said after the match.
NIurray's fellow student, Herbert Ham,
also came through successfully, playing
two matches. In the first he easily de-
feated G. A. Sparks. at Go, g. but hau
q little more trouble against F. T. Ere
Ungbuvsen. who went down at S. 81
Hahn displayed the same easy natula'
STYLE as Murray, but at no time ola ne
hit the ball so hard, or were his grouhu
strokes 50 clean. .
Watson NJ. Washburn, the playing
through champion, showed he was IN
eood form in two matches First he TOOK
the court against w. D. Bourne, vet
eran. and won with ease at 81, b.
Then Washburn played w. Halsey Noou'
formally of Columbia University, VINO
carried him to three sets before ADMIT
ting defeat The score was S-4, - III
After each had taken set Washburn
steadiod and outplayed his opponent
going 70 the net frequently, from where
no criss-crossed Woods court with clev-
erlv placed shots to the corners OF the
court.
Roserord. who has been the surprise of
the tournament so far, continued his win
ming pace, taking Harry 8 Parker INTO
camp in the third round by score OF
g., 81.
carl shafer was successful in TWO
matches and again showed he is playing
81, his best. lie first took Cedric A.
Major. the BROOKLYN player. into camp AT
-. %. GO. and then polished off H.
= RothschiId, the German player at
6-l. e..
shafer was strong on his driving
strong overhead and unusually steady
even for him, which accounts for his two
victories.

Alex Salm and George Aranyi-wcre

much opposjton, ard George NJ Church
and : Howard Voshell won their first
