Emmet, who was seeded second in the tournament, was upset by unseeded Dave Mason of Pittsburg in a close five-game match. Stephen Vehslage of Haverford (Pa.) School defeated Dan Morgan, Jr. of Yale in the other semi-final contest of the tourney. Eliminated in the quarter-finals were Ralph Mason Jr. of Pittsburg; H. Von L.

A former Harvard track captain, Art Siler '56 made a heavy contribution to the victory of the Oxford University track team over Cambridge last Saturday at White City Stadium, London.

Siler won the shot put with a 47 foot 5.5 inch heave and placed second in the discus with a throw of 150 feet 5 inches, as Oxford took nine of the 13 events for a 73-53 point victory.
