Miss Vanderhoef is noted as tire
less court coverer and a player who
never gives up unit the final point IS
won and lost, but the speed Of he
champions game yesterday and he
skill with which she shot the bell
through the openings indicated cary
in the contest that the match would n
quickly decided in Miss Biursteds'
favor.
Miss Gilleadeau outsteadied Miu
Pollak, and made so many apparently
impossible gets Of placement shots
that her opponent seemed discouraged,
and did not play the same brand Of
lawn tennis that she showed in the
Metropolitan tournament.
The former Barnard title holder only
put pace" on her shots when her open
ings were certain, and then she whipped
drives across the net with plenty OF
sting. Her play overhead was also ex-
cellent. Miss Pollak gained little
confidence in the second set. and held
her own in the deep court driving raj
lies. and il was only when she went 70
the net that Miss Gllleaudear was able
to gain the winning points.
Miss Tyndalc proved a worthy part
ner for Miss Bjurstedt in the vomsn'
doubles, smashing the lobs that Nm
lie Roy and Miss Taylor sent over VIM
such strength that she generally seor'
clean "kills."
