By Jack M:\sters The last two matches in the first found of the tournament for the team ' championship of the National Squash Tennis Association, played yesterday afternoon, not only produced the best ! games seen or. any ^' urt this season but the outcome ?. ly upset the league standing and resulted in three clubs? Harvard, Columbia and Yale? j being tied for first honors. , The first and most st.trtiir.g reversal c?me when the Harvard team, wi*.ich until yesterd place, lost gix out of seven ??rames t? the Colum lia piayers. and thi - I upset whs registered when the fast Crescent A. C. team sustained a 6?1 defeat at the; bands of the Yale outfit. Jay Gould, of the Columbia club, and F. Van S. H; the Harvard elub, furnished the fireworks in what is believed to have been the greatest match ever played or. the historic old Columbia court.-. Aft?, r three thrilling games Gould was acclaimed the victor and won the distinction of being the first man to defeat Hyde since 1916. The Columbia man took an early lead in the opening game and led at 14?7, but at this point Hyde rallied and actually brought the score to 14?a:!. The Harvard player made gome of the most amazing "gets" ever eeen in his long run from the rear, and executed numerous seemingly im- j possible shots. Hyde's f< rte is slim? ming low ones, balls that the ordinary piayer would not even try for, into the corners. Hyde Slows l"p Such spectacular playing soon told \ on the tall, si?. n?ier athlete, however, for, after 14?a!!, he slowed up and j Gouid ran the necessary four points, Baking the games 1?all. Hyda took the court in the second game apparent'.y ver; nuch refreshed, and at the outset he sat. a dizzy pace ; for Gould, *.v!.r> is regarded as the sturdiest and hardest-hitting player in the country. Prolonged rallies, one after the other, f? llov nd these were ; productive jf realty wonderful shot?-.] by both players. Hyde's front walP "gets'" bordered on the uncanny, and even Gould could not successfully cope, traordinary work. The Harvard star temporarily wore : down Gould, who, under the terrific, strain, began hitting into the tell? tale with err' it '-. .:??:.-. The game ??"?: a back and r until lit all, when Hyy-- forged to the front to trin with ftiur points to snare. Gould's (rre.it strength was empha-j =hed in :ne third game, which found Hyde weakening as the play progressed. Hyd- appeare 1 to play aj bril iantly a?

Value of Decisions for Boxing Bouts Is Demonstrated By W. O. McGeehan The Lynch-Hernian bout demonstrated the desirability of decisions for boxing contests. If this bout had been under the old no-decision law Lynch might have taken the popular verdict, but Herman, clearly out? pointed and outclassed, would have retajrted the bantamweight cham? pionship. The no-decision feature of the old boxing law put a premium on stalling and loafing in the ring. This boy Herman, the bantam champion that was, evidently is mainly a defensive fighter, not a hard one to out? point and not an easy one to knock out. Under the old law the only way Lynch could have won the title would be to knock the champion out. There is some grumbling over the decision that gave the bantamweight championship to Lynch. The decision was absolutely fair. This grumbling may be due to the fact that the so-called wise money was backing Herman tf win, or it may be due to the tradition that a champion should not bo deprived of his title uniese he is knocked out or very decisively beaten. They held to this tradition in California when prizefighting was boom? ing out there. If it had not been for this tradition Abe Attell would have been lightweight champion of the world, as well as featherweight cham? pion. Abe fought Battling Nelson fifteen rounds and gave the Battler a beating in every round of the fifteen, but the tradition was that no cham? pion should lose his title unless he was knocked loose from his intellect or whatever stood in lieu thereof. It strikes me that it was a particularly idiotic tradition, and I am glad that the battling Assemblyman, Marty McCue, and the sagacious Mr. William Muldoon, wt?o acted as judges for the Lynch-Herman bout, did not hold to it. It will convince othet champions that they must show championship caliber when they box in New York or take, a chance at leaving their titles behind them. Jack Dempsey is beginning to realize about this time that he came within a few rounds of feeling decidedly dubious about his title. Suppos? ing that Brennan had been just a little more rugged and had been able te carry the bout to Dempsey for the full fifteen rounds. The judges . might have given the Hon. Leo P. Flynfi's man the decision and with* it ; the million-dollar title of heavyweight champion. Champions have to box like champions under the present boxing law of New York State. y - William Gibson, unofficial Lord Mayor of the Bronx, and manager of Benny Leonard, the lightweight champion, is worried. William has his charge matched to box Ritchie Mitchell at the Garden and Miss Anne Morgan is patroness. J'l know that Benny will be all right," said Gibson. "He's had the best bringing up in the Bronx, and I am having all the seconds reading up on etiquette and that sort of thing, so that they won't make any bad breaks or any rough cracks. All the boys in our corner will wear evening dress. It's the other corner I'm worrying about. "We expect that there will be a lot of swell folks for the fight, and we don't want them to think that the fighting crowd is made up of a lot of mugs. We'll show class in our corner, but what I am afraid of is that the Mitchell crowd will come here with caps and sweaters and that sort of thing. Sooner than have this happen Benny and I will pay the rent for some evening dress for the birds in the ?ther corner." Despite the fact that the boxers for this bout are to get $60,000 for their services, it is said that Miss Morgan expects to retrieve something like 850,000 out of it for the American Fund for Devastated France. It is rumored that Leonard will donate a part of his share of the purse, which is to be S40,000. Carnegie Tech Eleven Organized for Year PITTSBURGH. Dec. 23.?A plan has been evolved at Carnegie Tech to keep the footbal! ??quad organized the year round, and thus help its efficiency. The plan is to hold meetings at regular intervals throughout the year. Under this plan all -kinds of ideas will be brought out. New plays, the faults of last season, and the sort of opposition that will be met in 1921 will be discussed. According to one of the men, the new plan is to have the Tech football teem "think football every day of the year." Coach Waltei^-Steffen will be brought from his home in Chicago early in the spring to attend one of these meetings. Australasians Undecided on Trophy Team Reports of Personnel of Davis Cup Defenders Giance Names Every Day By Fred Hawthorne There are many rumora flying about as to the personnel of the defending Australasian tennis team that will face our own Davis Cup team at Auckland, New Zealand, on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday of next week. One day we hear that Norman Brookes, the team captain, is going to play only in the singles, leaving the doubles to P. O'Hara Wood and Ronald V. Thomas. The next day it is reported that the wizard of the courts will pair with Gerald Patterson in the doubles and put the responsibility of the singles on Patterson and either Wood, ?T. B Hawkes or Jay Anderson, two of the younger school. I confess that I do not know how Brookes will pick his team, but i1 strikes me that Australasia must b< pretty hard beset for players of inter? national caliber if the veteran of sc many international struggles feel: called upon once more to step into th? breach in preference to younger men. We are all ready to admit, I think that as ?^ doubles player Normal Brookes in probably without an equa to-day, and this in spite of his ase. ?3 spite of a score of years of co?3ipeti tion against the world's best'. Hi marvelously quick thinking and hi unequalcd knowledge of court tactic: combined with a skill in volleying tha has rarely, if ever, been exceeded, rais him a notch above the rest of th mighty. Still Wizard at Volleying But the. doubles game, especially i the modern tennis of tremendous spec of foot and excessive physical and nei vous tax, is quite apart from the sil gles game, which is infinitely moi severe on physical stamina. Again any except the very best of our pla, ers Brookes has shown himself sti able to offset superior speed and sta; ing power by the finesse of his cou tactics and the wizardry of 1rs vc leying. However, even these gifts, great i they are, were not sufficient to stai off Tilden when the latter and Brook ? met at .Forest Hills in 1919 in the speci United States-Australasia matches, fc I lowing the national championship tou ney. While not the great tactician ai master that Brooke3 was, Tilden w so close to the Victorian in these r spects and so much faster on his fe and in stroke e:cecution that he c feated the Australasian with somethi to spare. It* is true that Brookes was worn the time by an extremely severe coui of tournament play and the tra* overseas, and he was playing on ali soil and before an alien, if a friend i crowd. In Auckland next week he v. ! be on his native heath, to all intei ?and purposes, with the knowledge tl j the galleries will be pulling for h: and probably his physical and r.ervc i condition is much better than when ! was last see3i in this country. Advantage with Tilden Yet, in spite of these things, I | lieve the advantage will lie with r. den and. to a slightly lesser exte Bouts Hereabouts SATURDAY (Christmas Afternoon) Commor.vealth S. f.? -?'h-iry Hart vs. Gu9 Lewis, ten ruune ; Red Monroe rg.

Tilden, on the other hand, is a dis? tinctly greater player tharv up.;-, the occasion of his first meeting with Brookes. His winning the national and world'3 championships this year, has given him gr?atly increased confidence, and with this confidence has come in? creased skill in all departments of the game. <t No, I fail to see how Brookes car. hope to come through both, or even one of his singles matches, su; that he essays the task, ai3d Austral? asia must win at least two of tl she hopes to retain the Davis Cup. But whatever .the make-up of the ri?1 fending team, and whatever the final result of the matches, I feel certain that Norman E. Brc?>kes will be the pivotal point of the international struggle and.that upon his efforts will rest the success or failure of the Au?trhlasian hopes. Purdue Seeks Spear?
