SECOND TENNIS TEAM DEFEATS BOSTON UNIVERSITY BY 1 POINT

Probably the most exciting tennis match played this year on Divinity Courts took place yesterday when the University seconds downed Boston University 4-3. The contests were perhaps not so replete with brilliant playing as some first team matches, but it certainly was more spectacular than any so far. With the score 2-2 after four matches had been played, M. W. Bradbyer '22, with two sets already played, 6-2, 5-7, and with the score in games against him, came through in the final set and defeated J. Backman of the B. U. team 10-8. The first doubles match went against the seconds, P. and D. Richardson of B. U. deteating Wilson Palmer '23 and J. D. Farnham '23 6-3, 6-2. Then in the final match of the afternoon, with the score 3-3, the B. U. pair, Davis and Martin, forced the Crimson players, J. M. Kleberg and J. D. Hill Unc., to show their best tennis to win 6-3, 3-6, 6-3.

J. R. Morss '21 and C. P. Holmes '22 both shone in yesterday's match, the former by his steady, forceful attack, and the latter by his brilliant overhead work.
