In the final match of the state tennis singles for the right to challenge R. C. Seaver, the state champion, N. W. Niles '09 defeated H. Johnson, 6-3, 6-0, 6-4. Johnson was unable, during the first two sets, to solve Niles's service, but the last set was close and Niles was forced to exert himself to the utmost in order to win. Last year Niles was defeated in the fourth round. F. J. Sulloway '05, who challenged Seaver last year, was put out in the first round this year by A. Sweetser '11.

Niles will meet Seaver tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock at Longwood.
