FORMER 'GRID'STARS
AID SQUASH VICTORY
Bomeisler and Cooney Help
Yale Club to Triumph Over
Harvard Grads.
BY SAMUEL ]. BRooKMAN.

On their own courts yesterday, Har-
ward Clubs squash tennis champions
went down to defeat at the hands of the
| Yale Club squad in the Class A metro
politan team tournament. The margin
of the Eli graduates was close. the
matches ending four to three In their
| favor, and the result indicated another
Campaign for the title as keen as the
one of last year. when, after the rival
| teams had divided home and home
series, an extra round had to be PLAYED
| in which the Crimson alumni barely
beat their opponents for the title.
Both teams were without the services
of their respective champions Thomas
| r. Coward national champion, and Fill
| more Van S. Hyde, former national title
| holder, both of whom were prevented
by the pressure OF business from being
present. The rest of the players on both
teams proved well matched and there
was not single contest that could be
called one sided. For so early in the
season, too, play was of exceptionally
high caliber, skillful, fast and gcnf rally
spectacular.
In the match that provided the feature
Auguste j. Corder of Yale, national
champion of 1920, defeated Anderson
Dana, who has been a title runnerup on
three occasions, after three sparkling
games. Cordier was the first to strike
his best speed and to find his best con-
troll and his swift start gave him the
opening game by an impressive mar1,n.
Dana, however, retaliated in the second
division of play. using puzzling change
of pace and saving many an important
point by his brilliant getting. The game
was his at 15-9. 1t was nip and tuck
for a while in the final game, which
proved the most dazzling of the three,
but Cordier's tremendous hitting in the
last few hands kept Dana on the de-
fensive and decided the match in favor
Of the former.
Two former All-American football
stars helped to clinch the victory for
the Yale squad. One of them was Car
roll L. Cooney, who defeated c. f.
Fuller In straight sets and the other
Douglas NJ. Bomeisler who scored over
William Rand. A third Yale gridron
star Otis Guernsey, who will be re-
membered as the man who drop kicked
Yale to victory over Princeton in 1915.
had to yield his match with Hewitt
Morgan, but the Yale alumni who
looked on. saw an i'll omen for Har-
ward in the Yale Bowl tomorrow in
the fact that the Blue with former

the Crimson at squash.
Princeton Club also had an advantage
of only one match in defeating Cres-
cent Athletic Club on the latter's
courts. 1t was 4 to 3. but every one OF
the Tiger graduates four victories
were earned without the loss of a
game. ~
