Slow 10 Get Started
It was young Aydeiotte, the Califor-
man, now = student at Princeton. who
yesterday. for this hard hitting youth
from the Goa st vanquished Jerry Lang
Of Columbia University. last years
runner-up. by score of Cd, Go.
after trailing st 0-3 in the first set.
Aydelotte required several games to
get bis strokes working smoothly, and
Lang, timing his passing shots clev-
erly, moved into what looked like q
commanding lead. At this stage, how
ever. the Princeton student decided
that he must take the aggressive if he
was to cut down his opponents lead,
and go started to force the net posi-
ton persisten ntly.
Lang faltered in the face of this at
tack, and Aydelotte, closing in at the
net position with great speed, began
TO smother the Columbia boys re
turns by sharp volleying and severe
overhead play. He won five out of the
last six games in the opening set and
continued at furious pace in the sec
end, taking the first three games before
Lang could halt him temporarily by
winning the fourth and sixth games.
That was as far as the Columb bia
representative could go, however Ay-
delotte winning the seventh and eighth
games for the set at e. and the
match. BY the high standard of his
game yesterday Aydelotte looms up as
= dangerous contender for the cham
pionship. vet Bernstein should extend
him well to-day.
Dawson, who moved through the field
SO brilliantly on Wednesday by defeat
ing Osgood and Whitbeck in successive
matches, had less to do yesterday,
when he conquered Valentine Grass, of
Forest Hills. by a score Of Go, Is,
in the fourtA round. Again it was the
Fordnam youths severe stroking and
aggressiveness that won for him.
Gress, after making a poor start,
dashed some fast tennis himself in the
second set and forced the games to
deuce before Dawson could take the
'ast two for the SET and match. This
corning. when he faces young Miles,
lawson should win with something to
pare, for he is stronger, taller and
..ore experienced than his opponent.
Miles Defeats Rouillion
Miles took his place in the semi
fnal brGcket by eliminating Louis H.
isouillion, OF Harvard University, by a
score OF Cd. 6-1. The Stuyvesant
schoolboy, while a newcomer in tourna-
iaens play, has won all his matches by
display of sound tennis, in which
tlere is no decided weakness.
Bernstein, who has competed fre-
euently in senior tournaments, came
through yesterday by defeating Harry
aker, Of Eyander Childs High School.
2. 6-3, -. Bernstein has a wide
ariety OF shots. including a reverse
1wist service, which often proved cf-
sctive under the lighting conditions in
lie armory, and he always held the
pper hand in the match with Baker.
