along on even terms for the first FIVE
aces in the first game, when Winston
rallied brilliantly and with swift at
tack swept Cordier off his feet. The
Yale man mixed up his play in the
second game, but after assuming a
rather big lead his opponent crept up
and made il set at 14-all. In the
extra three-point conflict Cordier
gained the jump and won.
The third game found Cordier the
stronger and steadier. He made the
most of a change of pace and kills"

errors on his part enabled Cordier to
win.
