Dana never permitted anything TO
get by him, smashing with deadly ac-
curacy and working his shots to the
back walls TO good advantage. Bull
kept the ball skimming inches over
the tell-tale, and, although he out
placed Dana often, the latter would
invariably intercept the ball with
great gets"
IL was a nip-and-tuck fight through
out, a stiff pace and hard smashing
featuring the play at all times. Bull
gained the jump in the first game,
and held the advantage for while,
when Dana, warming TO his work.
made It set, and finally won.
Bull assumed the lead in the second
game, but there was little 70 choose,
as only q few points separated the
men at any time. This game also
went 70 set at l4-all, but Bull, smash
ing with all his strength, gathered
three points in row, 20 win.
The third game found each man mix
ing up his play TO gain commanding
lead. About the middle Of the game
Dana gathered cluster Of three aces,
and, although his opponent tried hard
20 overcome this advantage, Bull failed
70 catch the Harvard man by two
points.

the title, and total Of twenty-five
matches were decided. Eric ). WIN
