McAllister Presses Garland.
Az a result OF the absence of Hall and
Cragin the leadership OF the regimental
forces fell to McAlliNer and Cunning
ham. McAllister was pitted against
Garland in the star match in singles,
and while the young Ell triumphed at
6-3, St. McAllister gave him a hard
battle all tho way. McAllister used a
deceptive cut service that had Garland
ON the run. and his deep drive was
strong too. But McAllister's backhand
was of color and Garland came in to
volley II off into aces for himself. Gar
! land played a versatile game. but was
not quite up to his best form.
Cunningham and lie Gros accounted

Ell undergraduate had the Eli alumnus
running a rather poor second. Cunning

service. In the second set Cunningham
got the gauge of his opponents style
and left him hitched to a post.

worked his long drives to perfection

! a singles player. Young Basstord was
no match for Rice. who scored in
straight sets, with the loss OF only five
games. the count being 6-3, 60. The
