Gould Defeats Mixsell i'm Squash Fins
Columbia Club
Champion Wins
FOur-Set Match
Could's Back Hand Slams
Bring Victory in
Fall Scratch Tournament
By lack Masters

By the consistent use of the wicked
back-hand stroke which made him
champion of all court racquet wielders,
professional and amateur alike, Jay
Gould, of the Columbia Club, defeated
Harold r. Mixsell, of the Princeton
Club. in the final of the annual fall
scratch tournament Of the National
Squash Association yesterday after
noon.
Gould's dazzling change Of pace was
not in evidence at any time during the
match, but after the first set, which
was the only one credited to his op-
ponent, the Columbia man was invin-
chile. returning shots that were SEEM
ingly out of reach and exhibiting re-
markable recoveries from poor posi-
tions. The complete score of the
match, which was played on the win
ner's home court, was 8-15, 15-9,
16-11, 15--7.
At the start Gould was unsteady and
depended wholly upon terrific drives,
while Mixsell played q tantalizing slow
ball with great success, the latter TAX
ing the first match 15-8.
Opponents Switch Tactics
AS the second set got under way both
men changed tactics. Gould discarded
slugging the ball for more even
style, which included many excellent
'round-the-court shots. Mixsell made
the error of turning from his forte
the slow ball-to try slugging with the
one man who has no superior in this
department, and thereafter the result
was never in doubt.
Gould rapidly developed his back
hand slams and held his opponent help
| less except on one occasion, when Mix
| sell broke loose with series of brill
liant 'round-the-court rallies, which
gave him Sd advantage. At this
point the Columbia player resorted to
a slow-dropping service, coupled with
an uncanny ability to reach the ball
when a return seemed utterly impos-
sible Mixsell was completely batfled,
and Gould ran out the eleven points
while his opponent "stood still"
The third set was featured by
Gould's long accurate drives and an
unusua! lot of interference, the play
crs colliIing more frequently than in
any scratch match seen in this vicinity
in a l,ng while. Here again, the win
ner was slow in starting and Mixscll
led at 10-8, but Gould rallied and
ran out while the Tiger player could
gather only one more point.
Mixscli Makes Mistakes
Both men were often caught out of
position in the last set, and here
Gould once .lorc demonstrated his
right to be rated with the best of
squash tennis stars. His racquet ap-
peared to be IN integral part of his
arm, so ma@tcrful and agile was his
play. True, Mixsell was guilty of
using poor judgment on several shots
but even had the runnner-up been in
his best form the result would have
been the same.
The little gallery at the Columbia
Club, which normally accomm odates
about forty persons, was crowded al
most to suffocation with no less than
seventy spectators. Several of the
newspaper representatives were com
PEELED to view the battle from "peep-
hole" on the court floor.

Wah a High Efficiency MOTOR

today, and it was only m war time
that we learned these lessons.
1t was under these conditions the
new Marmon high efficiency motor
was built.
The net result Is that We are en-
abled to present to you 4 motor car
builtto the mostexactingstandards of
fine workmanship that will bear the
same relation to the finesthand-ftted
cars thatthe American aircraft motor
-whichwas admittedgenerally tobe
the best in the world-bore to the
hand-ftted, handmade motors OF
our allies.
We have added new meaning to
the word motor car performance"
asshownby the attachedable. Those
familiar with the exceptional per-
formanceofpast Marmonmodelswill
appreciate the full significance ofthis
statement. There is new sweetness
of running, new freedom from the
unpleasant vibrations and motor dis
turbances of the past, new result
which only demonstration willreal-
ly disclose.
These results were accomplished
by no mysterious alchemy, but bya
practical application ofthegreat les
sons we learned in building aircraft
motors.
Before you buy any car, you owe
it to yourself to see the new series
Marmon "a, and to ride in it. A
demonstration will be convincing.

TT was freely predicted that the
worlds truly great motor car
would eventually be made BY one of
those few motor car manufacturers
who were honored by being called to
Washington in 1917 to devote their
factories, theircapitaland theirbrains
to the building of aircraft motors.
Because they, and they only, learned
the mighty lessons which mean
much to you, a lesson of heretofore
unknown production difficulties
overcome, heretofore unknown en-
gineering feats accomplished. 1t is
from the accumulated knowledge Of
this experience preaced by sixty
seven years of previously successful
manufacturing experience that we
present the new Marmon.
Of all motor car manufacturers,
only this organization had the ex-
perienceo eofbuilding two separate and
distinct types ofaircraft motors dur
ing the war, thus giving us broader
and unparalleled experience
We adapted a previously un-
developed machine shop accuracy
new methods of heat treatment
new possibilities Of close fits and
tolerances and new applications of
metallurgy. All of these things were
known before only in a laboratory or
experimental way. All we're used in
building fine hand made racing cars,
but they were never in the realm Of
practical production methods until

TWO READINGS.

In a casual glance al the financial
page Of an eastern paper there was
noticed the official notice-of a savings
society announcing a dividend Of four
and one-half per cent. Without de-
tailed reading two groups Of words
struck the eye. These were -four
and one-haf per cent" and payable
semi-annually." The conclusion inn
mediately presented itself that the
concern which was promising, or
which was even paying semi-annual
dividends of four and a half per cent
was a good thing for the man with
savings to invest to let alone.
Curiosity prompted actual reading
OF the notice. and it was found that
the dividend declared is an annual
semi-annual installmcnts. Immedi-
ately confidence was rc-establfshed,
and it was warranted, for the concern
is one Of the oldest and soundest in
the country.
The concern that is inviting invest
ments on the basis of nine per. cent
annual earnings may be perfectly
straight. but 1t is not perfectly safe.
There is a large element Of specula-
ton in it's Investments, and speculation
and safety do not go together. To
obtain nor than normal returns on
his money one must take risks, and
the MAJ who is looking for a place
to invest small savings cannot afford
to take risks.
