Yale Player Overcomes
Big Handicap in Match
of Fall Tournament
By A. c. Cavagnaro

r, Augustc j. Cordier, of the Yale
Club, earned the rank o. the best
amateur squash player in the coun-
Try, by decisively defeating Donald S.
Baker, clubmate, in the final round
OF the annual handicap tournament of
the National Squash Tennis Associa-
tlon on the Columbia Club courts yes
tefday. Cordier was extended to win
the opening game after an extra set
but in the concluding two games he
was always the master. The scores
were lS-l6, 15 4, 15-l1
Baker was allowed a lO-point start
by Cordier in each game. and this
handicap was thought by many too
severe for Cordier to overcome. They
contended that Baker ha d downed
many strong opponents in working his
way forward and that his peculiar
style OF play would also bring about
Ihe downfall OF Cordier. However,
Cordier showed at his best and fire,
ouently had Baker swinging his rac.
quet wildly trying to intercept his
swift drives
Cordier's "kills'' and severe attack
continually baffied his opponent. who
only ON rare occasions succeeded in
getting his racquet on the ball Cor
aler repeatedly changed his mode of
attack ana often caught his opponent
out of position. Baker lacked steadi-
ness which was the forte of his rival,
WINE ne FAMED to follow the bali
closely and thereby missed MANY
chances. However, the vast ditTerence
n the play of the two is closely
brought out in the recapitulation IT,
pie, which credits Cordier with earn-
ing 1s aces to 81 for Baker.
In the first game Cordier performed
unsteadily and forfeited many aces
on errors during the early hands. A.
the end OF the fourth hand Baker hid
marked up I points. while Cordier had
cut down his handicap to six. How
ever, Cordler soon gained his stride
ana mad succeeded IN retrieving his
lo,poin5 handicap when Baker had
collected eight ACES.
ne turning po.at in the game came
IN the thirteenth hand, when Bake
became careless and permitted Cordier
- count SIX aces, which placed him
only one point behind. A hard battie
YES then "aged to the end, with Baker
4i"ays maintaining d point advantage.
n&her succeeded in setting matters at
10 all, put here Cordler executed some
spectacular placement shots that found
hanef unable to return the ball.
Nordler scored consistently in the
second game through the constant use
ot speed shots and cross-court drives
tnat Baker could not gauge off the
walls. The game was bitterly fought
with Cordier putting stress on returns
10 the back wall corners and collecting
10 OIL ms points on placement shots.
AGAIN, IN the third game, Cordier kept
up smashing attack. During this game

ton of Mrs. Barney-Hemmick's own

attired in scant drapery, dyed by a

played upon the draperies it produced
startling effects. the material assum.

AS she pirouetted with all the skill
and daring of Pavlowa, the dancer
was very careful to keep the golden
veil between herself and the audience.

as Olympian huntress, still wearing
the golden veil -.
