Dartmouth, the Army, Syracuse and

the Crimson a record OF three games

Johnston's strenuous course of train
ing is bearing fruit, according to re-
port II is said that the freckled
little Native Son, determined to re-
tain his title and fool the sharps. has
vastly improved his backhand stroke.
He is said TO be getting as much
speed out of his offside shots as from
his famous bullet forehand, probably
the fastest ball driven in modern
tournament play. Billy, or Willie, as
he is called in San Francisco, has al
ways been noted for an effective
backhand, though his forehand drive
timed with the utmost accuracy and
hurled forth by Johnston's entire
weight, was his biggest point earnes.
Infringements Of the foot-fsult rule
are as notorious as ever, despite the
annual discussion at the national as

clubs holding tournaments make no
attempt to enforce the rule till the
