Karl Behr, who had defeated M
Loughlin at Seabright in August, w
figured as another possibility, and oi
or two others were regarded as havn
outside chances, Johnston being inclu
cd among tho latter.
The tournament went along witho
any notable upsets until the four
round, when Johnston flashed to tl
fore by vanquishing the fiery Behr
a hard four-set match. Williams ar
McLoughlin had come along withoi
trouble, not bei g opposed by anybor
capable of extending them. The ne

Williams put. out William Rand, 3d, ar
McLoughlin defeated F. T. Hunter.
It was William?, the champio
fresh from victories over Behr and M
Iyoughlin in previous tournaments, w)
faced Johnston in the next round. TV
little Culifornian started off with grei
speed, leading the champion at fi\
games to one. He was hitting the ba
harder than Williams and was nickin
the lines, whereas the Philadelphian, i
trying to cut the chalk marks, erre
many times. The ga fiery was stunne
as it saw the champion dropping gam
after game, but then a change cami
and it was Williams who began to mak
the points by marvellous placemen
shots.
Taking six game? in a row, William
won the first set at 7 S, and when th
men changed courts there were few i
the stand? who expected Johnston t
win.
But the man from the Coast neve
faltered, and the driving duels betwee
the pair were terrific, with Johnsto
having the advantage. He won the sec
ond set at I l and dropped thi
< at f>?7. After the rest period Johnsto
went into the rallie.-* with vieioua ?pot
i and ?wept Williams before him, driv
ing down the lines with tremendou
force and volleying from midcourt wit]
' such daring that the Philad.
; rarely succeeded in getting far from hi

complexion of the match changed re
markably in the secmd set. and John
1 ton, playing with th' age de
termination that he had shown agnins
?mis the da" before, stormed hi:
j way through without giving McLough
"gle game.
In both the last two sets McLough

each time Johnston steadied wonder

The new singles champion and Clar?

the doubles title on the following Mon

Bundy in a stirr ng match. Their team
work was superlative and their su?
perior speed and harder hitting were
factors against which the old cham?
pions could not prevail.

his position in the lawn tennis world

The American car made a finer show

before, but it might be undignified fo
BS to crow over this fact, Mine th
fast cars and the drivers of the Ok

the factories, which might he expOCte?

While the improved tracks wer

Great Heights Reached
in College Athletics
By MALCOLM M. BOY.
Greater heights than ever before at?
tained were reached in college athletics
during the twelvemonth spanning the
gap between 1914 and 1916. There
were few features In this year of gen?
eral all around excellence comparable
to the notahle victory of the Harvard
junior 'varsity eight in the Grand Chal?
lenge ('up race at Ilenley-on-Thames, in
July, 1914, but if 191f> did not give the
college men of the country an opportu
te ?how tliH? the Grand Challenge
MUld be defended as successfully
' w.i, won, i? did let them see ful
iMirts m the highest form of de?
velopment which they huve yet achieved.
H Bras a yenf in which honors, if such
i ???irn m the proper nomenclature for
npreatacy in s particular branch of
athletics, were well divided, although In
the major sports Cornell carried off
the lion's share of the glory by topping
m championship in track athletics with
a victory in rowing at I'oughkeepsie and
an unbeaten football team. It remained
I for th? Cornell eleven of 1916 to make
?>-.
, the dreams of two decades or mon
a striking act u:i!ity.
But Cornell wa? not the only college
which earned store than the I
average of honora, as I!i.r\aid. witl

fact that its football eleven lost one
game to Cornell and Ita crew whs
beaten for the ?econd year in succes?
sion by Yale, which captured the
premier rowing betters for the first

credit a victory by the score of !

eleven.
As to the ranking of the eleven?, the
tank is by no means an easy one after
Cornell has been placed at the top of
the lilt Harvard ha? been named as
worthy of second place, with Pitts
. third. Then, a- ?as pointed out
