the "hrst ten" men who arc now over

hands when they return to the ways Of
peace.
Richards defeated Tildcn, ranked as

missed doing the same thing by the
narrowcst of margins. These two BOYS
look like the greatest players of their
years ever developed in any country,
ana they are not going to be satisfied
with what they have already accom-
Pushed. They are only on the threshold
OF their court careers. viii it take a
Johnston. Mclaughlin or a Williams

frmer basis this season than ever be-

with success heretofore in its matches
with other colleges, and the candi-

practising for some time. The war has
hit the college hard and the tennis ma
terlal IS not very promising at present,
only two of last years team remain
ing at college. There are several young
sters who show great possibilities, how
ever.

matches with Syracuse University,
both at Hamilton and at Syracuse, with
Union College at Schenectady. Will
