SeiGVH mas SHS Squ@Sh Title race peen
SO close. and, realizing that it must put
G strong team on the courts to hold on
to first place, the Harvard Club sent
It's best players into play yesterday,
but that was not enough to stop the
rush of the Yale racquet wielders, who
enjoyed an old-fashioned field day at
the expense Of the Harvard men.
The Yale graduates did well, as
whole, but they lost big chance when
A. ]. Cordier, the recently dethroned
national champion, was defeated in
most sensational style by Anderson
Dana, of the Harvard team. Had Cor.
der won, as it was expected that he
would do without great difficulty, the
Yale Club would have been on even
terms with the Harvard team in the
Standing, but for the second time this
season Cordier tasted defeat, and In
performing the stunt Anderson Dana
played nothing short of remarkable
squash.
Tigers Trounce Columbia
The Princeton Club wound up it's
season by walloping the Columbia Club,
which held it's position in third place,
despite the drubbing at the hands of
che ceilarites. The Tiger team won by
4 TO margin, and here again the re-
sult was due to the defeat of q player
who was "sure thing" This player
was Jay Gould, the Columbia lead-off
man and runner-up III the recent ma
tional title meet.
Gould was decisively trounced by II.
R. Mtxsell, Princeton player who has
more than once been beaten by the
court tennis champion. The score was
l2-l5, 15-2, 1913.
Dana defeated Cordier by startling
run from behind, when it seemed he
was out of the race entirely. Each
player had taken one game and at the
outset Of the final session Cordier got
away to a lead of 10-2, which ne in
creased to 11-2, 12-3, 13-3, with
only about six innings disposed of. In
order to win it was necessary for Dana
to register twelve points, while his op-
ponent needed only two, and things
looked exceedingly dark for the Har-
ward man, who is not rated as high as
his opponent.
Dana Starts Rally
Dana made the next point and there
followed rally such as is seldom wit
messed on any court. The Harvard man
picked up points with increasing regu-
larty, making some unsusually good
AlsiS SHoIS anu ptayiflE eACeileHL POSI-
tion throughout. He stopped Cordier,
put the former champion on the defen-
sIve and drew up to Ia all before Cor
disr tailed again.
Here Cordier made it 1A-13 and once
again Dana came from the rear, this |
time to run the necessary four points |
and take the contest. II was drive /
which we'll deserved the rounds Of ap-
piause which came from the rather |
rainly populated gallery, and it will go |
on record as the longest of the season. |
