last season Fischer and johnson were

Harvard pair, J. B. Fenno, Jr., and
Morris Duane. They are looked upon
40 the strongest doubles team that Will
compete in the intercollegiate tourna-
ment, which will be held at Merton
during the week beginning June ~.
Fenno Looks Good
Fenno caused the gallery to look at
him a second time when he defeated
Ted Edwards. Fenno plays a very
sound game and he did not allow the
Mexican player to get set, winning
out in two sets of Ga each.
Fenno's doubles partner, Morris
Duane, is a Philadelphia boy, and also
won his match yesterday. He had lit
lie opposition in F. F. Stevenson, whom
he eliminated, 6.1. 6-2. 1t is un..
fortunate that the Harvard pair should
have been drawn in the same bracket.
but IN these nonceding days this must
be expected.
Duane will have z. cnance to show
lust how good he is this afternoon when
he meets Craig Biddle. The latter Is
playing an excellent game, and he
proved It yesterday when he trimmed
Tommy Leonards in straight sets. 6-3.
In his pre- college days Duane was an
athlete at Episcopal Academy.
Tiger Captain Loses
II was not surprising that Carl
Fischer defeated Joe Werner, the
Princeton player, but the score was an
upset. The University Of Pennsylvania
tennis pilot trounced the Tiger leader,
go, 8-1, completely outclassing him.
A queer angle of this match was that
Duane has twice beaten Howard
Noshell, the Brooklyn southpaw, who
defeated Fischer on Saturday in the
Church Cup tilt at Merton.
Fischer was in such good form yes
terday that he did not give Werner II
chance. He was Mt the net most of
the time and his volleys were so we'll
placed and had so much speed on them
that Werner could watch them whizs
to an unguardcd spot in tho court.
Werner has very good service, but
he is erratic. He served many double
faults and he didn't cover we'll When
he followed his delivery to the net.
Fischer and Werner met last year
and the former won, but only after
!ong, close match.
Morgan In Form
Andy Morgan. the young German

form yesterday. Unfortunately for him
he was drawn against a veteran club
mate, Stanley w. Pearson. the Ameri-
can amateur squash racquets champion.
Andy took the first set from his more
experienced rival by some excellent
driving and sound net playing. The
score was 6-3. However, in the next
two sets, Pearson found himself and
nad no trouble in running out the
match bv the scores Of 6-2. 0-1.
Morgan is a very promising young
payer and has improved great deal
