STANDING OF THE CLUBS.


To maintain It's record OF consecutive
victories this season Harvard Club will
have to win one OF its two remaining
matches with the D. K. E. Club to-day
IN the class metropolitan squash ten
mis- championship. In dropping two out
or three contests played with the Deke
representatives yesterday the Cam
bridge graduates came closer to defeat
Fortunately for the Crimson squad
two members OF the rival team were
not on hand for their scheduled matches
and We're CHARGED with defaults that
helped Harvard Club to lead of 8 to 2.
Because Harvard has been in the habit
OF making clean sweep Of it's matches,
the showing Of the Deke team came as
decided surprise. particularly since
the fraternity players are sixth In the
standing Of the clubs.
Another surprise was the defeat Of
the Yale Club team. last years cham
pions. at the hands Of the Montclair
Athletic Club. The New Jersey men
triumphed decisively on the Yale Club
courts. taking five out Of seven matches,
and all five in straight games. Douglas
M. Bomeis'er and Kenneth O'Brien
were the only winners for Yale. Bomeis-
Ter won as he pleased from j. Sanders.
but O'Brien was extended to the limit
to defeat p. Parker In a long extra
game tussle.
The best match of the series saw
Frank Seller of Montclair a winner over
Fl. c. McClintock Of Yale by a score
or 1S-l6, 1916. IT was exceptionally
last squash for class p and the rivals
were so well matched that they seldom
were separated by more than two or
three points In the score The lead
alternated early and often and both
games. as the scores tell rather elo-
quently, remained In doubt right up to
the final stroke. AS a result of the
defeat Yale Club dropped from third
place to tie for fourth with the
Montclair team.
Princeton's Narrow Margin.
In the third series of the day Prince
ton Club had very little to spare in de-
feating Crescent Athletic Club on the
latters courts and In retaining its hold
on second place In the tournament. The
final score was for the sons of Old
Nassau and for the wearers of the
half moon emblem. J. c. McKibbin,
j. NJ. Denison. Dr. A. ID. Mittendorf and
George A. Walker. Jr.. were the winners
for Princeton.
There was to have been a fourth
series between Army and Navy Club
and Columbia Club on Columbia's
courts. but the former club. which re-
inained out of the first half of the
tournament with the expectation Of
being ready TO place a team In the field
ut the start of the second round. has
been unable to muster a squad of suf-
ficient strength to make competition
this year desirable. Besides, the Army
and Navy courts are not quite ready
for play. Accordingly all the remain
