first half of its series in the Class b
metropolitan squash tennis champion
ship yesterday with a record of six
straight team matches won. The Eli
graduates on their home courts scored
their sixth victory at the expense of the
d. X. e. Club squad. and for the fourth
time in the tournament made a clean
sweep Of the seven matches played. The
rest of tho clubs In the championship,
to prevent the Yalensians from clinching
the title long before the close of the
tournament. will have to strengthen
their squads considerably.
Kenneth N. Hawkes. was the only
member of the d. X. Z. Club who
threatened at any time to win. He sue
ceeded in taking the first game of his
match with Clyde Martin. Slow to find
his speed Martin trailed. 5-13, in the
opening division of play. Then he sud-
denly bobbed up with a spirited rally
that earned him s points in three hands
and set the game at 13-all. But Mar
tin could not maintain the place and
slackened long enough to permit Hawkes.
to draw away again and take the game
at 1913. In the second and third
games. however. Martin clearly estab-
lished his superiority, particularly In
IndtLtE Ol Illllliit anu CohliOi'
and he won by comfortable margin.
All the rest of Yale Clubs victories,
with the exception OF one that was
scored by default, were earned in
straight games. In the best match of
the six played Joseph Walker, playing
No. / for Yale Club. had enough to
spare at the close Of each game, but had
to travel his best pace to earn his points
over Felix A. Jenkins. The rallies in

most interesting Of the day.
George Gould, Jr., Wins.
Crescent Athletic Club dropped from
second to third place in the team stand
ing because of a defeat at the hands of
the Columbia Club squad. The clubs d.
vided six matches evenly, but the failure
OF K. +. Mcvaugh TO appear for his
scheduled match with J. W. pu1leyn cost
the Crescents the victory. George Gould.
Jr. brother of Jay Gould, the court ten
mis- champion, played his second match
in squash tennis and again showed great
promise. In a contest with J. w. WINS.
Gould won decisively 15--7, 15-4, dis
playing more than ordinary speed and
good Command of strokes. With the acqui-
st!on of more court craft it will not be
long before Gould will have graduated
from the ranks of class B players.
