OF THE CLUBS
By Jack Masters

Jay Gould, of the Columbia Univer-
sity Club, displaying the best playing
form he has shown this season, de-
feated Charles M. Bull jr.. of the Cres-
cent Club, yesterday afternoon In the
fourth round of the Glass A tourna-
ment of the National Squash Tennis
Association. The game was played in
the team match on the courts OF the
Crescent Club, Gould winning in
straight sets, 15-8 and 15-9.
The Blue and White bat wielders
maintained their position in the stand
ing, being tied for second place, by
trouncing the Crescent repre- 3
five games to two, while the leading
Harvard Club added another victory 20
it's string by taking five games out of
seven from the Princeton Club team.
Bull, who ranks seventh on the ma
tional list, was outclassed at every
angle of the game Of flying ball and
whirling rackets. At the outset Gould
exhibited amazing control and dexter
ity, reaching apparently impossible
rifle speed for placngs which were
wellnigh perfect.
Bull Starts Of Well
The Crescent player held Gould even
at 3-all in the first set, but from this
point on Bull had no chance whatever.
I he winner went to the fore at the
halfway mark and ran out without the
least difficulty.
The second set was even more COM
plete triumph for Gould, who scored
nine points before Bull could get his
bearings. Rallying, Bull made it 4-9,
but here Gould brought into play deft
wrist motion, coupled with smashing
around the court shots, and ran out
with his oppnent on the defensive.
Toward the end of the set Bull was
guilty of several glaring errors and
his pace slowed up perceptibly. Like
many other racquet stars who have
essayed to "slam" with Gould, the Cres-
cent player found himself away cut Of
position and as a result proved an easy
victim for the shifty Gould.
Dana Extended by Mixsell
At the Harvard Club, where five out
of seven matches resulted in extra
games, Anderson Dana, ace of the
Crimson team, earned hard fought
victory over Harold r. Mixsell, of the
Princeton Club, runner-up in the re-
cent scratch tournament Anderson
took the first set, the second went to
Mixsell and the third was won by
Dana after extra innings.
Interference was frequent through
out the game, which was featured by
the steady playing and accurate placing
of the winner. Mixsell was plainly off
form, missing simple return shots
which ordinarily he would have reached
with ease. However, it is doubtful if
he would have beaten Dana, even had
he been in his usual playing form.
