West Side Tennis Club did not nave
to call on Its greatest tennis strength
To defeat the Columbia University col
legisns in a dual meet yesterday. the
first competitive event CT the season at
Forest Hills. A team composed chiefly
Of second string players proveI too ex-
perienced for the collegians, who earned
just one match in singles and one in
doubles out of a total of nine matches.
1t may be said for the Columbia
undergraduates. however. that in at
least three Of the seven losing matches
their showing exceeded expectations and
forced their opponents to the limit 10
win. The colleeians had me speed OF
foot and the speed of stroke. but court
craft in the long run proved superior
to that combination.
Frank t. Anderson. Blue and White
captain. alone stood between Columbia
and clean sweeping defeat. Anderson
won his match in singles from Hugh
NJ. kelleher, whu played No. for West
Side and later was the conspicuous
figure in Columbia's only doubles vlc-
tory. AS Anderson happens 10 be one
of the second ten in national tennis
rank and the younster who won the
national indoor championship a year
ago, his success came as no surprise.
His victory in singles at least was "A
foregone conclusion.
Anderson mt His Best.
Anderson was we'll nigh at his best
against Keleher. His severe service
was working well and he was storming
the net in every rally. volIeying effect
lively and with far better control than
is his wont. kelleher played sound ten
MIS- using good judgment IN choice of
strokes. but sticking to the base line.
venturing forward only when forcing
shot had furnished an opening. He was
not as steady as usual. however. nor
could he match the speed of the collie
gian, who led throughout and won by a
score OF 6-2. 6-2.
Gerald Emerson, second man on the
Columbia team, made a splendid bid for
victory over Percy l.. Kynaston, the
Nassau and Queens champion, taking the
second set at 6-3 by sheer speed and
hard hitting, but his control lapsed
badly in the third and deciding set and
he practically beat himself on errors.
Kynaston, covering court well and strok-
ing accurately, took the final set at 81.
The ony other match in which a West
Side representative was forced to yeild
a set was the one I'm which william j.
Gallon scored over r. @. Mclaughlin.
Like his teammate Emerson. McLaugh-
lin took the second set of his contest.
and like Emrson he dropped the last
set at 6-i, Gallons strategy gaining
results after the collegian began to tire.
II required an extra set for Anderson
and Emerson to triumph over William
A. Campbell and Lyle Il. Mahan in
doubles and 1t was only superior en-
durance that won for the younger pair
at So, 6--3, Ga. II was unquestlon-
ably the best doubles tilt OF the day and
mighty good doubles at that, the rallies
being long and spirited and the strategy
on both sides commendable. The more
decisive character OF Anderson's strokes
and his daring in playing for the lines
were the leading factors In the victory.
Larned Plays I'm Doubles.
Among the winners for West side
were william A. Larned. the former
national champion and internationalist
who teamed with Julian s. Myricls. presi-
dent of the National Lawn Tennis Asso-
citation. They proved far too ykilful for
r. X. and A. e. Scovii and won at e--1.
