vard- PrincetonSquash series was that
IN which j. V. Onativia, jr., Harvard
Club, defeated Harold Tobey, Prince
ton Squash clubs, by a score of 12-15,
l5-6, l5-7. Both men are players of
high calibre. Onativia won perhaps
for the reason that he is in better con-
dltion at present than his opponent.
Iobey displayed all his oldtime eff
outtought Onativia in game enlivened
tectiveness in the first set, in which he
with many rallies. But this hard match
considerably tired Tobey, who there
after was unable effectively to combat
the offensive playing of Onativia.

victory for w. H. Wander Pool. Prince

Columbia veteran, also won good
match over H. R. Carhart, Yale Club,
