Plays Impressively at Squash
After Week of Racquets
and Court Tennis.
by SAMUEL j. BRopKMAN.
STANDING OF THE CLUBS.

From court tennis one day to racquets
the next and to squash tennis the third.
Thus does Jay Gould mix his sports
successfully, belying the axiom that a
player cannot devote himself to all
three sports in single season and re-
tain his efficiency in any one OF them.
After an absence of two weeks during
which he was engaged In defending his
court tennis title and in playing in n
racquets tournament in Philadelphia. the
court tennis champion returned to the
squash courts yesterday and flashed the
same form that has marked his I'M
beaten record this season. If anything
his performance was more impressive
than ever, particularly in the matter
of speed of stroke.
His match with r. Earl Fink at the
Columbia Club was the feature of the
series between the home team and
Crescent Athletic Club in the metro
politan Glass A championship. Fink.
one of the strongest Of the players in
the local district and winner recently of
the national handicap tournament,
IL
the match proved to be comparatively
easy one for Gould, who led in straight
games, 15-6, 15-5. The court tennis
champions wizardry of stroke, his re-
markable anticipation and ability to
make startling. gets from any angle
seldom have been more pronounced. Ha
indicated clearly that he is out to ~
squash tennis to court tennis as his cLil-
panion titles. Fink played his custor =
airy fast, hard hitting game, bu. was
unable to make much headway. What
he did do was to make the .'dllies de-
cidedly interesting and to force Gould to
show the best game at his command.
Gould's victory was the margin by
which Columbia Club defeated Crescent
Athletic Club 4 to 3. Columbia as result
moved up to tie for second place in
the standing of the clubs. Andrew
Baxter. Jr., Kenneth F. McVaugh and
n. T. Torrance were the three Crescent
men to win, and every one of them had
to go extra games to earn his victory.
In the other series of the day tho
Harvard Club, league leaders took seven
mntches in row from the Princeton
Club squad on the Harvard courts.
With six dual meets won out of sever
Harvard now Is assured of nothing
worse thar tie for the team title when
the series ends on February 10. Yale
Club by beating Columbia Club next
week and Harvard Club on the final
day of the tournament can finish on
even terms with the Cambridge grad
yates. Columbia Club by winning its
next two series of matches can tie Har-
ward provided Yale beats the Crimson.
The other two clubs have been out Of
the running for some time.
