WHITBECK WINS UNIVERSITY TENNIS TITLE FROM GORDON

The finals of the University singles tournament yesterday produced a brilliant and hard-fought match between J. F. W. Whitbeck '27 and L. H. Gordon '27. The Harvard captain defeated Gordon, 6-3, 4-6, 6-0, 6-3 by virtue of his reserve power at the deciding points of each set.

Gordon was the aggressor during most of the play, although Whitbeck stroked to his back-hand consistently. The points were evenly divided for each game up to deuce but Whitbeck generally proved his superiority by forcing the pace at critical moments. His strokes were accurate and fast throughout the final play of the University's largest tournament.
