ing at minus >, was unable to over
come the handicap placed upon him in
meeting II. R. Burt, of Columbia, rated
at Plus d, and was defeated by a score
OF 15-S, 1.-l6, making a very de-
termined bid in the last game.
The tournament committee an
nounced last night that the playing
schedule must be maintained. In orr
der to accomplish this, the second
round must be completed by to-mor-
row, the third by Friday, the fourth
by Saturday, the fifth by Sunday, the
semi final by Monday and the final by
Tuesday.
The bitter cold weather of yesterday
may have had its effect in keeping
many of the prospective competitors
away from the Columbia courts. The
wind whistled around the roof tops of
The buildings in West Forty~third
Street, and everybody found 1t chilly
except those who were actually play
ing. The groups of spectators who
sat above the courts were bundled up
in their overcoats and kept warm by
budding close together. But it was
fine weather for the hardy squash men.
Experts Likely to Clash
II all goes according to form one of
the best matches in the entire tourna-
ment should result in the meeting Of
Charles NJ. Bull jr., the Squash Club
expert, handicapped at minus 10, and
Cordier, placed at the same mark
These two have met before and played
so evenly that there was but little to
chose between them. Bull won the
last encounter, but only after desper-
ate match, and as both seem to be
near the top Of their game. lovers of
squash are liable to witness a stirring
match, provided the draw brings them
together
Yesterday Corder had all his shots
working beautifully, and he had need
of them, for the big handicap was a
more so as Milius fought hard for vic
tory He was helpless, however. against
the skilled and crafty playing of the
Yale man, who played the corners
cleverly and mixed up his pace in a
manner that at times completely baffled
his opponent
An idea of the pace at which Cor
der was travelling may be had when
IL is remembered that he had actually
could be credited with start in each
game But he handled these -four
teen points with as much ease and
dexterity as did the President at the
Paris peace conference, and with far
more success.
Tobey, who has not been getting
out on the courts with as much fre-
Quency as usual this season, found
this an added handicap when be
elashed with Burt. The latter took
advantage of every opportunity and
played right up to form, whereas
Tobey missed on many shots that
ordinarily would have been simple
for him. In the final game the Prince
ton man got working better and for p
time it looked as though he would
sQuare the match Burt used plenty
OF pace, however, and scored on somr
clever shots, both off his fore and
backhand, and his victory was we'll
deserved.
