The University tennis team easily defeated Yale six matches to three at the Longwood Cricket Club, Brookline, last Saturday morning. The University team won four out of six matches in the singles, and two out of three in the doubles. Niles and Sweetser won their matches in the singles in straight sets and showed the best form of all the players. Sweetser played a very fast game with a well executed low ground drive. Nile's playing against the Yale captain N. C. Stevens was brilliant. All his shots were fast and perfectly made, and he won most of his points on his service and back hand drive. The scores were as follows:
Singles--N. W. Niles (H.) defeated N. C. Stevens (Y.), 6-4, 6-4; A. Sweetser (H.) defeated H. H. Bundy (Y.), 6-4, 6-1; R. A. Holden (Y.) defeated H. Nickerson (H.), 4-6, 7-5, 6-2; F. M. Watrouse (Y.) defeated F. H. Burr (H.), 6-3, 7-5; G. C. Adams (H.) defeated J. DeK.Bowen (Y.), 6-3, 3-6, 6-3; R. H. Eggleston, Jr., (H.) defeated H. B. Bretz (Y.), 6-3, 7-9, 6-3.
