Columbia Man
Finds an Easy
Foe i'm Adams
Olds Causes Upset in Open
ing Squash Matches by
His Defeat of wainwright

Jay Gould, OF the Columbia CLUB.
world amateur court tennis and raquet
champion, began his quest of the Nh-
tional Squash Tennis Association in-
dividual championship by decisively dee
feating William Adams jr., Yale Club.
in first round match Of the Annus2S
tourney which got under way at the
Columbia Club yesterday. Gould,s gem
eral play was SO superior to that Of
the New Class B champion that he
won by the onesided score of 15-A.
80. The match consumed but little
more than fifteen minutes.
Gould had perculiar cut on the ball
that kept Adams frantically attempting
to intercept it. The outstanding fea-
ture of Goulds play was his thrilling
placement ace. He smashed the ball
down both sides Of the court and thus
repeatedly caught Adams out Of posi-
ton. Gould scored more than half of
his thirty points on these shots that
travelled as fast as lightning. Adams
found it well nigh impossible to
fathom Gould's service with any de-
gree OF success and seldom returned
the bali with his usual skill.

Play in the upper half was marred
considerably through the unusually
large number of defaults. but the few
matches that were actually played fur
nished thrilling encounters. An upset
in this section was the downfall of
Stuyvesant Wainwright, Yale Club, at
the hands Of E. c. Olds. Princeton Club,
by count of 10-15, 1914, 15-6. II
was the most bitterly fought match Of
the day.
Olds laid particular stress on his low
driving of the ball, and his steadiness
proved of invaluable aid in the pinches.
He skilfully handled Wainwright's
speediest shots and often caught the
Yale man out Of position.
In the first game Wainwright. slow
assuming lead of 10 to 4. VAIN
wright then rH.lS>i, scoring Ave aces,
and held his opopnent scoreless in the
meantime. After several long rallies
Olds nanaged't to c1inch the game with
consecutive run of fouz aces

lead Of II to z, when his opponent
rallied to even rra.ters at 13-au, and
outbattled Oids Il. the extra set of fye
aces. olds showed spder his rival with

sary points at will. -
