...nals of the doubles were between Harvard and Yale teams. The Yale team, H. A. Plummer and S. L. Russell, defeated J. A. Roche '03 and W. P. Blagdon '04, 7-5, 4-6, 6-2, 6-4. The Yale men were a little the steadier, but had a hard time to win. The playing of J. A. Roche for Harvard was at times brilliant, and his volleying and smashing of lobs were the features of the match...
...finals of the Massachusetts state tennis tournament yesterday afternoon 7-5, 7-5, 6-1; and won the state championship from D. F. Davis '00 by default. The final match was very close for the first two sets. Both players were swift Ware the more brilliant, and Wright the steadier. In the third set, however, Wright showed superior endurance, and had no trouble in winning. Three victories are necessary to obtain possession of the challenge cup, and this is Wright's first. D. F. Davis '00, M. D. Whitman '99 and L. E. Ware '99 have also each been champions...

...successfully defended his title of University tennis champion for the fifth time yesterday by defeating W. H. Laverack '01 in straight sets, 6-3, 6-4, 7-5. The match was more closely contested than the score shows, for nearly every game was hard fought. Marvin was much steadier than Laverack and although he had fewer clean passes to his credit, he made on the other hand fewer outs and nets. Marvin's service was not a hard as Laverack's but was more accurate and he served only one double fault in the three sets to Laverack's four...
...them. Roberts, who succeeded Sargent was not so effective, but this may be attributed to his lack of experience with the guards back formation. Burnett and Sargent did some good tackling and fast interfering in the open field. J. Lawrence and Eaton opened holes well and were much steadier than usual. Campbell and Hallowell were slow and missed tackled frequently. The best work was done by the back field men, Fincke, Putnam, Kendall, Devens, and Stillman. Kendall and Devens took the full advantage of the interference in circling the ends and both made long runs. Much credit for these, however...
