N. VAC. MAKES BOW
AT SQUASH TENNIS
Loses to Montclair in Met
Championship, but Team
Shows Promise.


| New York Athletic Club made It's bow
in squash tennis competition yesterday
when play began in the annual metro
politan Glass b team championship and
although beaten on its own courts by
the team Of the Montclair Athletic Club,
experience will extend the best of the
other eight teams TO win. The home
club led in two Of the seven matches in
straight games and forced two of the
other five 70 extra games. Both the
latter were so close that the team vic
tory might easily have been reversed.
The Mercury Foot club has just had
two new courts built on the roof of the
Fifty-ninth street clubhouse, and it's
squash tennis personnel has doubled in
a single season. William #. Ganley,
formerly professional at the Harvard
Club. has been engaged as instructor,
and he has been devoting particular att
tention to the development of a capable
team for the metropolitan champion
ship event. The two winners for New
York A. c. yesterday were Godfrey
Piel, Jr, who is captain of the team,
and James Butler. Jr. For Montclair
Frank A. Seller, ]. c. Waldron, G. A.
Hipkirs, r. A. Luchars and w. =.
Spencer were the winners, but OF this
quintet Hipkins was the only one to
score easily.
In the other two team matches of the
day Columbia Club defeated Crescent
Athletic Club on the formers courts. 6
to /. and d. X. Z. Club triumphed over
Princeton Club by exactly the same
score. In d. K. Els case the score fails
to indicate how hard pressed the fra
ternity players really were by the Tiger
graduates. In every one of their six
victorious matches the D. X. Z. players
were carried into extra games. and
their margins were very slight.
The closest tussle of all was the one
in which E. L. Ward of the Dekes de-
feated J. NJ. Denison of Princeton. The
match was nip and tuck all the way,
but exceptionally so in the deciding
game. in which the score went to II all.
There was>a long sustained rally for
the final point, that ended with drive
into the telltale by the Princeton grad
after splendid get" II. S. Thorne.
r. II. George, c. B. Stewart, w. C.
Becker and G. G. Dawson were the
other winners for the Dekes. The only
winner for Princeton was ]. c. McfSib-
ben.
E. p. Cypiot alone prevented Colum-
bia CLUB from making a clean sweep of
its matches with the Crescen.s. His
victory over A. S. Rothwell was the
only one for the visiting squad. Three
other Crescent players. however. J. w.
WINS. j. c. Tredwell and c. w. Fyfe,
carried their matches into third game.
