WHITBECK WINS PLACE IN FINALS OF TOURNEY

With the score tied at one set each from the previous day's play, which was interrupted by darkness, J. F. W. Whitbeck '27 playing in top form, won his way to the finals yesterday. When he captured two straight sets from L. H. Gordon '27, giving him a 6 4, 1 6, 6 1, 6 2 victory.

Gordon, who finished the first day's play with a burst of speed which enabled him to take six games in a row, succumbed yesterday before the steady brilliance of Whitbeck's game. The winner's shots were severe, and his flat drive repeatedly passed Gordon at the net or streaked down the side lines for placements. Whitbeck was getting length into his strokes, and his overhead net play and volleying were the best he has displayed this fall.

Third Set Rally Wins

In the doubles Competition seeded players received a setback from outsiders for the first time in the tournament, when T. E. Jansen Jr., '26 and W. T. Smith '26, after dropping the first set, railled and pulled out the next two and the match, 6 4, 6 4, from L. H. Gordon '27 and P. M. Lenhart '27.
