Stars city Of Washington ten
mis- tournament for juniors and
boys the interscholastic
phase-recetved almost the undivided
attention Of % schoolboys today as
they continued the fight to represent
Washington in the national interscho-
lastics at Philadelphia in July.
Not lessening their concentration
upon the main objective-the City Of
Warrington champions-most Of the
nearly two dozen survivors in the
scholastic competition found them
selves engaged In hand-to-hand rack
citing which started on the Sixteenth
Street Reservoir courts at . o'clock
this morning. All but Of the orig
inal 20 entered from high and prep
schools remained in the running for
an honor which may not be decided
as at first planned.
Although 1t was specified that the
schoolboy entrant advancing "furthest"
ip the tournament would be the Cap
itals delegate, 1t appeared today As
il two or more would advance equally
far. In such 4 case, . special match
would be staged to determine the city's
representative to the national tour
| nament.
Chichester Wins Lone Match.
A MONG the more prominent con-
tenders for the representative
honor apparently slated to advance
"furthest" are Doyle Royal and David
johnson Of Roosevelt, Harry and John
burst Of Central. and Billy Turner. .
local lad who spent the past school
year At Darlington Prep in Rome, Ga.
Royal appears to be the first who
will be put on the spot, scheduled, as
he is, to face Harry Heffner. the tour
nament favorite and ninth national
ranking junior OF the country, In a
third-round match tomorrow. He1-
ner Is not eligible for the interscholas-
tic award. The remaining four, how
ever, may end up by battling it out
among themselves.
Turner and John burst meet in the
quarters, provided the former gets by
Leonard Sokol, last years boys cham
pion and probably his stiffest foe, and
provided burst can take the measure
Of Bob Chichester in the third round.
Chichester, incidentally, added the
second upset in two days Of play yes
terday, when he outlasted Ken Dalby
in . three-set match, 6-4, 0-6, SIS.
Dalby. who the day before accounted
for the first elimination Of a seeded
player by defeating Dewitt Smith. had
match point against Chichester at
5-3 in the third set, but the latter
rallied to tie the score and take three
Of the next four games. 1t was the
only match completed yesterday, rain
canceling all the rest.
Cooper Handicapped bv Size.
ToHNsEN and Harry burst prob
ably will meet in another quarter
final match. johnson faced Oem
Williams At O'Clock this morning
with the winner to take on the sur
vivor of the Jack Hoyt-schuyler jack
son match At noon. burst was sched-
uled to meet John Stasuli, not until
o'clock, however, and he will not
play his third-round encounter un-
til tomorrow.
Should he defeat Stasuli, he prob
ably will meet Reginald Cooper, the
Bermuda boy champion who is seeded
eighth. Cooper is playing his first
year in junior ranks and was the
boy, not junior, champion of the
British island last year, as previously
reported. The newcomer seemingly
has a wide repetoire Of strokes but
his size and age Is expected to leave
him on the short end of matches
with those who have been juniors
before this year.
With apparently every high school
team enrolled in the tournament en-
masse, Central and Wilson boasted
the largest number Of survivors be-
fore play started today. Each had
4, with Roosevelt and Eastern hav-
ing ;, and Western and Tech 2. st.
Adams still has left, but that num-
Der was to be cut in half as its en-
trants, Robert Whiteley and Grant
Wilmer. were paired against each
other
Second Seeded Boy Defaults.
ONLY three of the four seeded boy
players were left in the running
today as word was received that Tay-
lor Chewing, seeded second, would
be unable to return to the city until
tomorrow, forcing his default in the
second round. He had drawn q first
round bye. As in the Juniors case,
winners Of early morning matches
were to play second-round matches
today, attempting to fulfill the COM
mittee's hopes of reaching the quar-
ter finals by the end of the day.
Junior doubles entries closed with
16 teams, Heffner and johnson be-
ing seeded one and March and Turner
two. Play was to start today with
boys doubles also probably getting
under way. All Of tomsrrows matches,
singles and doubles, will be played on
the Reservoir courts between the hours
Of and O'Clock.
