to this day the last in our home
I had give way to my feelings.
and I could not ' . bear that ' he
should see my emotion.
I was dabbing at my eyes fur
tively with my handkerchief when
Dicky ; sprang into the car. and,
leaning past me, turned off my
switch key.- t - - - r-: : .
"You'll ruin your engine If you
keep mx like ;that," he said , inv

I obeyed him silently. I would

to speak, and beaides there was
something tense in Dicky' man

meet. . . i. .
In .si tennis, the visitors ! were
simply nowhere. - The Willamette
players j .won..- every - match r -In
straight sets, and only two sets
going beyond the minimum of
six to : win. One of these . was a
double , match, and j the other the
second set between Miss Elva
Burris of .Willamette and Mies
Harriet Smith of Pacific. L - ,
Emmel trimmed Roberts of-Pa-
1ic, i a flashy, athletic-looking
player, 6-0,, 6-0. Emmel began1
playingronly- last year, and has ho
long tennis heritage, back of .him,
but he has a corkscrew serve and
a speed that mark him wellup
into the championship class. .If
he does not come close to filling

Noble Moodhe who simply - anni
hilated the rest of the, northwest,

Huston played a much longer,
harder, game against Amburn of
Pacific, winning 6-2 r 6-1. 'Amburn
uses the high lob extensively, and
Huston,; playing a safe, careful
game, the scoring did - not pro
gress rapidly.' ' But - Huston gain
ed consistently, and killed enough
of these lobs to win.
Mickey caught a tartar in Hen
ry, who made the best individual,

Willamette player, however, .took i
him into camp, 6-4, 6-1, Mickey
getting better , and the other man !

day were shown in this series, es
pecially i the backhand return' of
Miss Burris is about the finest
thing seen in Salem tennis in a
long time. The visitor, did not
lack ability as was shown by her
running up the score to 8-6 in
the t second , set, -but the home
playerj would seem toj have a wide
margin - of playing ability. . ,
