...deciding set, Marvin went all to pieces on his smashing and lost the set and match-6-3. Ingraham won his victory principally by good lobbing and by his ability to return everything. Marvin hit the balls very hard, and, if he had not weakened at the critical moment, should have won the match...
Yesterday afternoon the Freshmen easily defeated the Sophomores in the first game of the class series by the score of seventeen to two.
