to Can kaiser"
By Fred Hawthorne

1he 7th Regiment Tennis Club, with
William Cunninbham leading the
charge "over the top" at the 7th Regi-
ment Armory yesterday afternoon,
/ helped in the process of "canning the
Kaiser" by selling $500 worth of
Liberty bonds, following two cxhibi-
tlon lawn tennis matches.
Vincent Richards, the national bav
champion, played Harold Taylor, junior
national indoor and outdoor champion,
IN the singles, and in the doubles
event Richards and Allan Behr me.
Taylor and II. r. Hathaway, the one
armed marvel of the courts. Richards
TOOK the first set from Taylor at 6-3
and the match was called in the sec
. ond SET when the games stood at O.
all, because the Liberty bonds were
growing restless at the inactivity and
insisted upon being sold. The doubles
match likewise was halted when the
opposing pairs stood at 5-al on games
| IN the first set
Police Start Sales
just as Richards smashed out the
! final point i'll the tenth game of this
event, the oPlice Department Brass
Band entered the armory through the
Lexington Avenue doorway, and the
blaring Of the trhmpcts and the boom
ing of the big bass drum started the
spectators cheering with such enthus-
lasm that there was nothing else to do
but start the bond selling right then
and there
Father Bil' Cunningham did a
lightning change act from a tennis
referee to Liberty bond salesman
end showed at once that he swung a
wicked cratorical tongue by telling the
crowd That "wc are gathered here to-
day, fellow patriots, to sell bonds.
not to gather flowers" and then the
crowd Went to it.
Just to help things along, the Police
I!ee Club chimed in with reditions
or all the popular war songs, and
| everybody who could get near enough
: TO the platform to make their voices
heard above the din, dug down and
! bought the bonds that are4 going to
biad the Kaiser
Taylor brought out some C"a.GS very highl siu
! class playing, with Richards having
cIe advantage most Of the time. His
llacing was unusually precise, and he
finished Oil many OF his points by
closing III u. the net position for rare
No!leylnS sessions, during which he cut
Ctt Iaylor's fast drives with great suc-
cess.
Youngsters Play Hard
IN the second set Taylor speeded d
Up his own volleying strokes, with the
result that the games alternatcd, and
the Two young stars gave a dazzling
cxhlbition of fast racquet work. The
Junior champion tricked Richards sew
eral times by cutting the ball off
SHARPLY across fore-court as he came
charging in from his base line. Tav-
!or generally held the odd game ad
vantage in this set, but he could not
put over the finishing points for the
set. Leading at SIT on games and
at Ao-l5 on points, Taylorsneeded only
one point to tie the match, but the
boy champion held him off bv some
rare volleying that finally Won him
the game, and he did the same thing
when Taylor led at 9-S on games.
The teams in the doubles we're
evenly matched, with Hathaway. in
spite Of his handicap, taking a promi-
rent part in the many rallies at close
quarters

Upon whom the Blue and White must

4 big disappointment in many ways.
Of course i. must be remembered

The scrub end had a clear pathway

Inc scrub quarterback, finally sue

the ball.
Seely Starts Too Late
Then Seely started, but he was too
late, for the entire varsity outfit was
.pon him before lie had covered five
yards. Head Coach Dawson explained
sfterward that Scelv had never been in
:. football game before. This is un-
qoubtedly true.
The FIRST period. aside from a thirty
yard run around the end by Shaw, was

Urls punted from behind his own
goal line. 1t was poor effort, the BALI
carrying only fifteen yards. where DAILY,
ihe new quarterback, caught it and ran
10 the three-ya,d line. Houlanan. with

surrender himself to The tender
