The final round of the University singles tennis championship was interrupted by rain yesterday afternoon after the first set and one game in the second had been played. N. W. Niles '09 beat E. P. Pearson 1L. in the first set, 6-3, and won the initial game of the second set. Both the whole set and the extra game will count and the match will be finished on Jarvis Field today at 2 o'clock.
The drizzle was most unpleasant to play in and affected Niles's playing especially, as it bothered his eyesight considerably and made his strokes inaccurate. In spite of this he outplayed Pearson, who frequently missed his volleys and drove many easy shots out of bounds. Pearson's serve was strong, however, and he made several remarkable returns from well-placed shots by Niles. The latter excelled in backhand play and was generally able to pass his opponent who ran up on his own serve continuously.
