DOUBLES CHAMPIONSHIP GOES TO LIPMAN AND de TURENNE

SMITH DEFEATS GORE, 3-0

Leon A. de Turenne '21, of Seattle, Wash., and Robert L. Lipman 3L, of Berkeley, Cal., were the winners yesterday in the doubles tournament, defeating Robert Rand 2L and William Rand 2L, of Rye, N. Y., in five hard-fought sets, 3--6, 7--5, 6--8, 6--3, 6--4. The New Yorkers put up a magnificent fight, and for a while in the fourth set they seemed to be sure of winning, but their opponents' greater court experience enabled them to be victorious. The net game of the Rand brothers was especially notable. Lipman excelled at serving, while de Turenne's back-court drives gained him many points.

Rand and Rand took the first set easiy, 6--3, with only three deuce games. The second and third were much closer, each player regularly taking the game on his own serve.

In the second set Lipman managed to break through his opponents' service and won 7--5; in the third the Rand brothers staged a clever net rally and were the winners 8 to 6. The last two sets fell to the Westerners, although not without a spirited opposition on the part of Rand and Rand.

Lipman captained the University of Calfornia's tennis team several years ago, and de Turenne is the champion of the State of Washington. He also was captain of the 1921 team, and played last year on the University team. Both Rand brothers played on their Freshman teams here.

In the interdormitory matches Smith Halls defeated Standish by a 3 to 0 score.
