Three former Yale football stars
Douglas NJ. Bomeisler. Carroll r. Cooney
and Otis L. Guernsey-figured in the
feature matches. All three were beaten,
but gave a mighty good account OF
themselves considering their limited ex-
perience Bomeisler. who has been play
ing less than two seasons, astonished the
gallery by taking game from Charles
NJ. Bull, Jr.. one OF the top ranking
players in the sport. and by boldlng the
lead for time In the final division of
play.
Whatever Bomeisier may have lacked
in finesse OF stroke or in knowledge OF
change of pace he moro than made up
for by his persistent court covering. his
sparkling getting and his ability TO
keep going at top speed all the way.
While Bull was content to slacken his
efforts at times after series of light
hing rallies Bomeislers If anything. kept
getting stronger rs gthe contest adj
vsnced, and the Crescent man had TO
call on all his wits TO prevent defeat
One sided at start.
The match started i'm such one-sided
fashion that there appeared to be little
or no chance of Bomeisler extending his
opponent. Bull ran into lead OF 9
points to l. but by that time the former
Yale gridiron star had attained his best
speed and was driving powerfully and
racing all over the court for some SEN
sational recoveries. Bull was not pre-
pared for the rally, and Bomeisler, by
forcing the pace. drew up to 10-1a. He
could not sustain the rally long enough,
however, to prevent the loss OF the
game.
In the second game the lead changed
hands often. Bomeisler won the first
two points but lost the next seven. Then
Bull continued in front until the score
was 13--l0 in his favor, only 10 have the
Yale man squirt again aud set the game
at 13-all. Playing for five points
Bomeisler quickly ran into a lead OF two
points and held it TO the end OF the
game. which he won at 1s-l6. In the
third game. too, Bomeisler threatened
seriously Rt the start and had an adj
vantage o. 6-3 IL was then that Bull
reused himself and found his best speed.
and Bomelsler. despite a hard fighting
resistance, was forced to yield the game
and the match at 15--e.
