Anderson Dana Meets Surpris-
ing Defeat in National
Championship Event.

Startling in its suddenness was the
defeat in the first round Of the ma
tional squash tennis championship at
the Yale Club yesterday of Anderson
Dana of the Harvard Club. for three
years runner-up for the amateur title.
Coming as it did at the hands of +. S.
Whitlock OF the Harvard Club, who
never has had a Glass A ranking, the
result furnished perhaps the upset o.
the season. Dana was expected to
have an even chance with the rest OF
half dozen contenders for the cham
pionship, and many looked for him TO
get to the semi-finals at least. He was
clearly outplayed. however, in two out
Of three games. Whitlock flashing the
best ei hibition of his career at squash.
1t was the amazing getting" OF the
Glass B player and his unshakable con-
! troll that brought about the defeat or
Dana. Dana was not as steady as usual,
but he had all his great skill at his
command and his placing kept Whitlock
running all over the court But Whitlock
WAS equal to the task required of him
and his superior speed and more power
ful hitting more than counterbalanced
Dana's advantage in experience. Dana
choicest shots were returned in man
ner that must have been discouragins
10 the Harvard Club veteran.
After losing first game Dana came
bacl, with q spirited rally in the second
division of play and apparently had the
match well in hand. He took the game
at f5--5 and seemed to be at ms best
at that stage. The effort. however toid
on him heavily in the deciding game.
W'hitlocl had been setting 80 swift a
nace that Dana I'm order to even the
score had been compelled TO keep going
at ton speed. When il came 10 test
of endurance In the last game Whit
lock- had far more In reserve and placeo
