...match furnished much brilliant tennis, especially since the two men used far different styles of play. Bradley's best game was one of low, powerful forehand drives, but he was unable to use this stroke to its greatest advantage because his opponent, like himself, continually played to the backhand. Kunkel, on the other hand, used a variety of chop strokes, even for returning the service.

Feibleman has a fast serve and a strong net attack which make him a promising player. P. L. Romaine '22 with a strong forehand drive has been working to advantage in a two-man team. R. B.

Guild '23 was best known for his booming forehand drive. He has ably demonstrated, however, that he is not a one-shot player and that he can mix to advantage both steadiness and speed. He has an unusually quick eye which facilitates the execution of his hard-hit forehand drives...
