Devens is the Crimson first string twirler, and has therefore been saved for the heavier Saturday games in the past.

During last week's performance they rapidly displayed all the relations of satellite to planet...

The dark horse of the tournament was Gregory Mangin of Newark, a graceful player but one without abundant stamina, who has been playing tournament and Davis Cup tennis for six years without winning any sort of national championship. In the final, between Shields and Mangin, Shields seemed to have the match well in hand with a lead of 5-2 in the first...
