The University tennis team gave a very creditable account of itself in the intercollegiate tourney held at the Merion Cricket Club, Philadelphia. Two University players reached the third round, and one the final match in the singles; and one Crimson pair was not eliminated until the semi-final bracket in the doubles play.

The work of D.P. Robinson Jr. '20 was the feature of the team's exhibition. Supposedly the lowest ranking member of the quartet, he defeated in the third round A.H. Wilder of Yale, one of the winners of the doubles title, and in the semi-final he vanquished E. Levy of California, universally picked as the ultimate winner. In the final match, however, the greater experience of Maxwell Banks of Yale in tournament play, and his consequent steadliness proved too much for the Crimson player, who lost three straight sets, 6-3, 6-3, 6-4. C.H. Hyams 3d '21 reached the third round only to succumb to Kirk Reid of Cornell, 6-1, 6-4. In the same round J.B. Fenno '21 was also eliminated by Banks, 7-5, 6-2.

In the doubles, Hyams and Fenno were defeated by the Cornell entrants, Reid and Holt, in three sets, 5-7, 6-3, 6-3. L. De Turenle '21 and Robinson progressed to the semi-finals where they were eliminated by the runners up.
