...semi-final round of the fall tennis tournament, on Saturday afternoon, N. W. Niles '09 defeated S. W. Howland 2L. 6-0, 4-6, 6-0, 6-2. Niles played a steadier game than his opponent and took advantage of every opportunity; he covered his court well and his strokes at the net were nearly always well placed. After losing the first set, 6-0, Howland braced, winning by 6-4, Niles seemed to have lost much of his accuracy. In the next two sets Niles allowed Howland only two games, his drives to the back line were hard...

One of the best played matches of the afternoon was that between F. J. Sulloway and F. W. Cole. Although Sulloway won in straight sets, the play was much closer than the score indicates. The cross-court drives of both...
Harvard won through opportune hitting, though the batting was generally weak. The fielding, however, was swift and accurate. Brennan was the steadier of the two pitchers, struck out nine men, and allowed no bases on balls. Pratt struck out only six men, gave two bases on balls, and hit one man. Dexter and Evans both played their positions well, and Foster and Giles in the outfield each fielded their two chances cleanly. The Yale team was weak in fielding and threw to bases poorly...
