...Yale match is going to be a test that will definitely determine the caliber of the Crimson racquet-men. Last week a few of the squad got together an informal team, drove down to Princeton, and were defeated 4 to 1.

Hubert Stevens made his first run in 1:47.79, breaking the course record Curtis had set a week earlier. His second run-.01 sec. slower-gave him a scant 5 sec. lead for the last...
