DANA AND HACKETT

Handicap Event.
APPEL LOSES HARD TILT

Anderson Dana and w. II. Y.
Hackett. both Of the Harvard Club. will
play FOR the national handicap squash
tennis championship tomorrow. Each
won his matches In the seini-nnal round
Yesterday at the Harvard Club courts.
Dana eliminated ]. w. Appel. Jr.. Of the
Harvard III In a three game match
which brought out more smsshes and
broken bats than the sport has seen In
several moons. Hackett disposed Of
Auguste j. Cordier Of the Yale Club by
making miraculous gets and returning
perfectly.
Appel and Dana had a stirring battle
which drew by far the largest gallery Of
the tournament. Both men are hard
hitters who depend more on their
smashing ability than couft covering.
At the start Appel had Dana on the run.
leading In the first game by ~ to 4.
once Dana got his stroke working cor
rectly. however. he soon overcame this
lead and more than held his own. Dana
won the first game. IL to IL. through a
series OF side shots. which few 80 fast
on the back wall Appel was unable to
return.
In the second game Appel released all
the energy at his command and set q
dazzling pace. Tiine after time he killed
me ball with a volley 40 hard Dana was
hardly able to see the ball. much less
return II. Appel o. the second game.
j." to II. but was 30 tired when the
third began he was unable to Withstand
the continued volleying Of Dana. The
match was filled with rallies In which
each man returned the ball at least ten
times before a point was won. Dana
won the third game by 10 to 4.
The brilliant volleyinK OF Cordier was
wasted In his match with Hackett who
was adept at making seemingly impos-
s'ble gets. Hackett placed the ball
rather h a drove II and really out
generated the Yale player. Cordier had
to concede' Hackett -four aces IN the
game. which was too big a handicap.
as Hackett was more tina the equal OF
the Yale man.
Followers OF squash tennis predict a
stirring game when Hackett and Dana
meet tomorrow for the laurels. Dana
smashes even harder thar Toes Cordier
and reliesen his yolleys to win. Hackett
has a smooth. easy stroke and a change
or pace which IL disconcerting to those
