The semi-finals in the tennis tournament were played on the Jarvis Field courts yesterday.

The first match, between J. B. Read '95 and R. C. Thomas '96, was very well-played and interesting for a time. Thomas started in with a rush and won the first set, 6-4; he lost the second set after a close contest and in the last set went to pieces, while Read won, 6-0. Read was cool and steady, and played a good all-round game. Thomas played a good net game, but was rather wild.

In the other match, H. R. Simonds '96 was outclassed by J. A. Chase '95, who won easily. Chase did especially good work at the net.

The score of the matches played yesterday is as follows:
