start in the preliminary round Of the
annual national fall squash tennis
tournament, which begins this after
noon on the courts Of the Crescent

are some of the best racquet wielders
in the country, the best of these, from
standpoint of ranking, being A. J.
Cordier, Yale Club, former champion,
who was rated third in the standing is
sued by the N. S. T. A. last year.
Cordier will undoubtedly be q strong
favorite for first honors, but it is by
no means certain that he will emerge
victorious, for the field includes sew
eral youngsters who have been knock

against the Yale star he will be
eliminated.

Yale Club, who won the class B title
last season, is sure to go far in the
scratch tournament, as are Anderson
Dana and Hewitt Morgan, Harvard,
