Punting was frequent on both sides, McKay, of Brown, with the wind behind him being able to keep the ball in the middle...
...serve at the top of the bound. Pearson played at the back of the court most of the time and received the ball on the fall. Although the sets were interesting and not too one-sided, Niles was never in danger of defeat and won his championship by superior all-round work...
