Triumph Of Youth, IS
Sets Up 81 Victory
Over Baltimore
By Lewis +. Atchison

age ana youth Scooped up most
OF the honors as Washington
Hotchkiss Cup tennis team COM
pleted its conquest OF Middle At
lantic rivals yesterday with a 5-4
victory over Baltimore at Columbia
Country Club.
Representing the old man with
the scythe was Smilin' Jack Nor
rison, 41-year-old Baltimorean, who
put the skids under Tom Moorhead,
60, 3-6, 81. The kid in the
three-cornered pants was 15-year-
Old Gil Bogley, jr., who "unlaxed"
after dropping the first set to Wood
Herren sand rallied to win, SO,
IS, Ga.
Hating Washington's smooth,
cool Moorhead was all in a days
work for the colorful Morrison.
Brakelining is his business. But
Bogley's triumph was an upper case
achievement, the turning point Of
the match, enabling Washington to
enter the doubles portion of the
program with Sail rating. needing
only the odd match to clinch the
cup.
Bogley, Fisher Drop Doubles.
Ironically, the poker-faced lad
and Ben Fisher lost the final dou-
bles match for Washington's only
tandem setback, but they lost it
only after holding Francis Ogden
and Bill Lamble at set point for
at least Is points. Fisher time and
again STAYED off inevitable with a
smashing overland or sparkling
placement, but in the end it was
his miscue that put a period to the
play.
Bogley's achievement sent his ris-
ing stock up another point and gave
him the towns solid support in his
Forthcoming bid for the national
interscholastic tournament at Char
lottesville next month. The young
ster proved his mettle in coming
back against his more experienced
rival and none ever has doubted
his shotmaking ability.
The veteran Hickey Willis, who
saw service as Marine oficer in
the Pacific, carried a couple of
extra pounds in the midriff to VIC
tory over Lamble in an exciting
rs, GA match. Willis vastly i'm
proved volleying and his skillful
placements turned the tide although
Lamble's cagey stroking kept him in
the running up to set point.
Charming is Easy Victor.
Charley Charming, blond Column
bia star, toyed with Ogden in their
singles engagement, losing only one
game. and when he teamed with
Willis in doubles the combined pow
er was too much for Morrison and
Herman Goldberg. Morrison s
boundless energy, a cannonading
serve and running fire of counsel
and condemnation of himself kept
the gallery in an uproar throughout
the match.
Moorhead, who service was his un-
doing in singles. improved on it in
the doubles, tackled on his reliable
backcourt game, and with J. o.
Urquhart outlasted Frank Roberts
and Alex Kettles in three torrid sets.
1t was the 25th anniversary of the
inception OF Hotchkiss Cup play, al
though not the Silver Anniversary
match as war terminated play after
the 1941 series. Next years match
will be played at Baltimore. Rich
mond and Norfolk, which were elm
mated yesterday, will be hosts in
succeeding years.
