Intercollege Tennis
Carl Fischer is a student at the Philadelphia College of Osteopathy. The muscular training of his adopted line of healing apparently stood his wrists in good stead last week, for he won the Intercollegiate tennis championship at the Merion Cricket Club, Philadelphia. The runner-up was Gerald B. Emerson of Columbia. The score: 6-2, 6-3, 6-2.
The match, however, was mild in comparison to the doubles finals, in which Lewis N. White and Louis Thalheimer, University of Texas, won the championship from Lucien Williams and Arnold Jones of Yale. Five sets were necessary. In the third the Texans were twice within two points of victory but receded before a violent rally which the Yale players sustained through two sets. The effort, however, wore their game thin and the Southerners won as they pleased in the closing games. The score: 11-9, 6-3, 9-11, 5-7, 6-1.
