with three weeks OF the squash tennis
season gone the conviction grows that
Harvard Club Is due 70 regain the class
q metropolitan team championship. For
the thir time since the opening Of the
tournament the Cambrige graduates won
decisively yesterday, defeating the CO.
lunlbia Club team, six matches to one,
on the Harvard courts. The wearers OF
the Crimson have now disposed OF their
strongest rivals for the title without
being extended.
In the other matches played yesterday
Yale Club scored over Princeton Club b.
four matches to two,and Montclair Ath-
letic Club made an auspicIous debut in
metropolitan competition by defeating
Crescent Athletic Club on the latters
courts, six matches to one. one OF the
Montciair players, z. Parl-cr. was pro-
tested by the Crescents on the ground
that having been ranked by the national
association at one time he was not eli
gible for class 3 play, but as II turned
out Parker's victory was needed to
ciinch the match for the New Jersey
team.
the seven men OH each OF the six
teams engaged yesterday played squash
tennis that more nearly Hp0roachcd the
Class a than the Class II brand. This
was particularly true of Clyde Martin
and Douglas NJ. BomesIef OF the Vale
Club, of George L. Abbot OF the Har-
ward Club. of Harold Kellock of the
Columbia Club. of p. Parker and v.

team. Coupling speed of stroke and
exceptional agility with a substantial
amount of skill the Harvard man kept

could not match his court covering

drew even. In the second game ne did
bring the score TO 1i--all, but Abbot
took three OF the next four points
quickly.
MontcIair, did not win by any such
vide margin as the score OF, TO 1
six victories the matches required extra
games and in two of them the result
remained in doubt right up to the final
stroke. In the closest and most inter-
esting of the series Frank Seller barely
beat N. 7. Torrance by score OF 12-I5,
i1-l6 and lib. The summary:
