New-York tribune., 1922-01-10

Fink won the first game 15--iO, but
tho strain of scoring nearly twice as
many points as his opponent told on
MN IN the second and he was beaten
l5-l2. The third and deciding game
was one Of the best Of the tournament.
Obr'en, confident with liberal handi-
cap, fought for every point and finished
what was probably the best game of his
career. The Yale man pressed Fink
all the way and barely managed to
emerge with a one point victory after
extra innings, the score being 17--16.
Thomas Coward, Yale, the junior ma
tionaI champion. who is the real
scratch man Of the tournament, since
nc IS the only one LEFT who is playing
from the minus 10 mark, was put to
real test when he met II. K. Mixsell,
princeton, rated at minus 8. Mixsell
has displayed fine brand of squash
Of late and the match attracted large
gallery, Coward winning in straight
games, 15-8, 1913.
Many Spectacular Shots
It was one of the hardest hitting
contests seen hcreabouts in lonr
while The smashing play is Coward's
1orte, and pitted against an opponent
OF Mxsell's ability he was compelled
to resort to the tactics which largely
are responsible for his sensational rise
IN the court game. Mixsell also pos
sssscs powerful driving arm, and the
PAIR mutilatcd a large number Of per-
itctly good balls with their terrific
1!ems. Of course, science was not sac
rlilced to hard hitting and both players
"ade any number of spectacular shots
The deciding factor was Coward's
ability to get his racquet on seemingly
impossible returns Of, sn other words,
his "gets.' The Yale youngster also
carried the Tiger representative along
at furious pace afoot, and this. in a
measure, caused Mixsell to slow down
Coward not only scoopcd the ball up
and got it back to the rear wall with
astonishing speed. but his placements
were so accurate that MiXsell was often
caught out Of position.
Jay Gould Defaults
Jay Gould, who won his preliminary
match by default, in turn defaulted
yesterday. Gould, who ranks second
on the national list, is not in playing
condition, was evidenced a few days
ago when Coward easily disposed of the
Columbia player in Class A competi-
ton.
