NEWPORT, r. l., Aug. 1.-two
Californians will meet today again
in the finals of the Newport invita-
tional tournament on the Casino
courts.
William Johnston, of San Fran.
cisco, who minated Norman
Brookes yesterday, will meet Har.
vey Snodgrass, of Los Angeles.
Snodgrass beat Babe Norton, for.
merly of South Africa, but living
now in st. Louis.
Four Californians also will meet
in the finals Of the doubles Howard
and I beat the Texans, White and
Thalheimer, in straight sets, g.,
6-3, Ga. We were going excep.
tionally well yesterday, while our
opponents were weak overhead.
White served well and smashed
sitters for aces. Thalheimer's net.
work was a feature on their side.
The doubles between Johnston and
Griffin and the Snodgrass- Wesbrook
combination was a marathon, going
the full limit of five sets.
Johnston and Griffin Just edged
out the match in the fifth set, the
final score being Ga, SIS, As.
So, 1918.
Johnston's speed was a little too
much for the Australian. Especially
was this noticeable on volley shots.
The Californian also employed a lob
very effectively.
Johnston played real tennis, the
Australian never standing a chnace.
I think Brookes is through as a
serious contender in singles, but he
still Is one Of the craftiest doubles
players in the game. He is a re.
markable man, a real sportsman, a
tremendous credit to the game.
In the Norton-Snodgrass match,
Snodgrass used a chop stroke,
which worried the South African
into erring frequently.

has been shifted from the back
field to one Of the guards.
He weighs 1856 pounds, is fast,
stocky, powerful. He is an ideal
man for guard under the Tech
system, where the guard comes out
into the interference. Herbert Hall
is a letter man from the last team
and will be a hard man to beat out.
Cooper and Diamond were on the
scrubs last year and left favorable
impressions. Both are big men.
Hahn and Orval williams are two
others. There is q chance that
Carpenter may be shifted to a
guard. Williamson also will be
tried at both places. That il the
guard material.
At Center we find Owen Pool. on

powerful Tech High product, who
has been on the squad for two
seasons; Johnny Murray, the bril-.

captain Of the last Frosh team.
That is the center material. Pool
is too light. Murray has not had
the experience. sGlenn, the best
snapper on the squad, weighing
100 pounds, looks like the man.
