round match with Vanderbilt, and 80
the latter was advanced to the next
hracket. where he encountered L. I.
Grinnell, of Harvard. Both men are
rated at scratch, but Vanderbilt.
veteran at the game, had no difficulty
in taking the measure of his opponent
bv a score Of 15-14, 15-3.
Charles NJ Bull jr., of the Squash
Club, and playing from the minus 10
mark, had to work at fast pace 70
defeat W S. Seamans, Of Harvard (plus
81 by score of 5-15, 15-10, 15-9.
game Bull did not get down to serious
work, and Seamans, profiting by. the
huge handicap and playing at his best,
did not have much trouble in winning.
But it was a different story in the
last two games Bull, while he did not
"stroke" the ball with the power that
he sometimes shows, played with such
excellent judgment that his opponent
found it hard to score an ace: The VIC
tors backhand shots were wonders Of
execution. and he was rarely caught
cut of position Bull used ba ing
change of pace many times to catch his
opponent out of position, but when Sea
mans sought TO adopt the same tactics
the Squash Club star was "on the
ball" like a fash.
The giant Carroll Cooney, Of Yale

figures on the Blue football team
showed a surprising amount of agility
on the squash court yesterday in his
third round match with I. II. Cornell

Ii, 15-3. The Princetonian did no
get the full advantage Of his handical
in this match, for in both games he al
lowed Stern to get on even terms befor'

the more experienced player winning.
r. E. Fink former New Jersey
state champion, Handicapped at minus
5. won an Interesting match from
Stuyvesant Wainwright, of Yale
tscratch), by a score of 17-15, 1-15

was startling reversal of form by
both players, Wainwright finding him
self and reeling off beautiful shots
for the corners and the sides, while
link fell off considerably. In the last
came, however, the Englewood mar
came back and outmaneuvered his op
ponent in the rallies.
