COLUMBIA Ne I.
TEAM LOSES
STARS
Captain Jerry Lang and Dick
Marshall Play Last
College Sets

NEW YORK, July 11.-AIthough
Columbia has had some Of the best
college tennis players in the country
during the last three years. the Blue
and White has failed to enjoy more
than fair success at the intercoI-
legiates. Captain Jerry Lang and
Dick Marshall. the stars OF the 1926
team, will not be available next sea
son, and since no new luminaries
ere coming up from te freshman
combination. Columbia's position in
the tennis world will not be Of any
great Importance next spring.
In 1923 Frank T. Anderson, Cap
tain Gerald Emerson and Lang were
among the last eight survivors for
the singles championship I'M
usual feat for an institution. Yet,
in spite OF this, the best Columbia
could do was to supply the runner
up for the title in the person of
Captain Emerson.
Anderson, although only sophie
more. was one of the favorites for
the crown, But was eliminated by
Carl Fischer, thu eventual winner
OF the championship. in the semi
finals. Lang fell by the wayside in
the round before the semi-flnals,
while Emerson was beaten badly by
Fisher for the title.
Last season Captain Anderson
entered the tournament as the
favofite. while Lang, although no.
seeded, was counted upon to make
good showing. The latter elimt-
mated Johnny Howard, the Prince
ton captain and a seeded player, in
the opening round and then con-
tinued on his winning way until
the round before the semi-finais.
Here Wallace Scott. OF the Uni
versity OF Washington, disposed of
him. Scott continued on his way
to the championship by conquering
Anderson in difficult battle in
the semifinals.
Due to the withdrawal Of Ander-
son from the university on account
of poor health, Captain Lang stood
out as the best of the Columbia
players this season.. He lost only
one match all spring in college
competition, going down before Ar
mold Jones, Of Yale, and was there
fore counted upon to make a splen-
did showing.
However. for the third successive
year he was eliminated in the round
before the semi-finaIs, where e. G.
Chandler, Of the University OF Cali
fornia. conquered him. Chandler
won the championship, so for the
last two years Lang has lost to the
winner of the title.
Richard Marshall did not do as
well as had been expected but
some consolation can be foundsin the
fact that he also was a victim of
Chandler Ir the doubles Lang and
Marshall were beaten by Jones and
Charlie Watson. Of Yale.
The Weel. before the National
Invertebrates Marshall had no
trouble winning the New York State
intercollegiate title after being run
rer-up for the last two years. Paired
with George Case, captain Of next
years team, Marshall figured in
winning the doubles crown for the
third successive season.

q vast system OF hatcheries that
tend to increase and perpetuate our
supplies through artificial prOpa-
cation and restocking.
There is no sentimental ism about
that. There are millions, OF course,
who have very pronounced sem
tinerIt against seeing our lakes
and streams stripped Of fish to
the point where they can no longer
hope to feel the tug of a big one
or even q small one. But even
the man who doesn't care IL he
never catches fish in his life
need not view the matter on the
ground Of sentiment Let him con-
suit his stomach. IL he il thankful
for the fact that his favorite va
riety Of fish Is stilI easily obtain
able in any restaurant, he can
thank the conservation interests.
AS against this comprehensive
nationwide effort to conserve and
increase our supply Of fish You
have the thousands OF commercial
fishermen who haunt our lakes
and streams, and who are so short
sighted that they resent any re-
strictions whatsoever toward per-
pe4uating their own means Of live
IIhood. They still believe that it
is their Godgiven privilege to fish
at any time. by any means and foI
any species that win net them an
extra dollar, unable to see that il
those methods had been allowed 10
prevail they would long since
have fished themselves out OF q

lean public of its Friday menu to
