One match in the semi-finals of the tennis tournament was played yesterday afternoon between R. C. Thomas '96 and R. McKittrick '99, which resulted in an easy victory for Thomas, 6-3, 6-1. McKittrick did not play as well as usual while Thomas improved on his game of the day before, playing very strongly at the net.

The other match of the afternoon was one in the third round between A. Ingraham '96 and E. R. Marvin '99. This match was very close, and some excellent tennis was played. Marvin won the first set by running to the net and smashing beautifully. Ingraham played entirely in the back of the court, going to the not only twice in the whole match, but his good lobbing made up for his lack of net play.

In the second set Marvin won the first four games, and it looked very much as if he would win the match, when Ingraham suddenly began to play better, and took the next six games and the set.

In the third and deciding set, Marvin went all to pieces on his smashing and lost the set and match-6-3. Ingraham won his victory principally by good lobbing and by his ability to return everything. Marvin hit the balls very hard, and, if he had not weakened at the critical moment, should have won the match.

These matches leave Thomas in the finals to play the winner of the Ingraham-Whitman match, which will be played this afternoon at 2.30 o'clock.

The summaries are:

R. C. Thomas '96 beat R. McKittrick '99, 6-3, 6-1.

A. Ingraham '96 beat E. R. Marvin '99, 4-6, 6-4, 6-3.
