OF the four aspirants who advanced
to the third round of the national Glass
B squash tennis championship on
the Columbia Club courts yesterday
Douglas M. Bomeisler. the former Yale
football star. showed the most i'm
pressive form. In II. Victor Crawford
OF the Montclair Athletic Club Bomeis-
Ter met an opponent who has been win
ming consistently in metropolitan COM
petition this season. yet he fairly
kreezed through the first game without
the loss Of a point. his powerful hitting
and all around aggressive attack keep
Ing Crawford on the defensive.
The Yale man slackened his pace con-
siderably in the second division OF play.
which was natural. but grew bit over
confident, and his temporary loss of con-
troll and less alert getting enabled the
Montclair player to force the issue into
an extra game. Bomeisler steadied In
time to check his rival and toward the
end was stroking just as skilfully and
with as great a fnality as at tha start.
BY taking the third game at 15-8 he
left no room for doubt that his victory
was well deserved.
The other three to reach the third
round were G. l.. Smith Of the Yale
Club, L. A. CONN, Jr.. of the Columbia
Club, and A. M. Hyde OF the Harvard
club, a brother of the national cham
pion. +. Van s. Hyde. All three scored
in straight games and with plenty to
spare In each. Coffin came through
with the quickest victory Of the tourna-
ment by yielding just one point In each
game to w. r. Lawrence of the Yale
Club. BY the time the third round is
completed to-day several Of those rated
as contenders will be eliminated, for In
some cases the strongest players arc
bracketed for play.
Next to Bomeisler the player who
loomed most convincingly In the half
dozen matches played yesterday was
William c. Rand Of the Harvard Club.
Rand disposed of Harold Kellock, Co
1umbia Clubs top ranking Class B
player, in more or less decisive fash
ion, the score beinx 15-9 in each game.
Rand whose game is built on excep-
tional speed and the swiftest sort OF
getting. has yet to lose a match in a
Class B tournament this season, and
he has played practically in all Of the
metropolitan team matches to date. kel-
lock relied on clever placing and
change OF pace to beat the Harvard
graduate, but found the 1atter's game
too powerful for him. He had little
time for tactics.
Twenty-eight of the original hfty-nine
players survive. Yale Club and Har-
ward Club each have six players left
in draw DKE Club has Ave and so
has Columbia Club: Princeton Club has
four and Squash Club and Crescent
Athletic Club one each. The sum-
mary:
