The University doubles championship was won yesterday afternoon by F. F. A. Pearson '11 and H. Nickerson '11, from K. Brewster 2L. and H. H. Rolfe sL., in straight sets, 6-1, 6-4, 6-4. After the first few games, the match developed into a fight for the net.

Pearson and Nickerson started in well, when the latter won his serve, and had three games, before Brewster and Rolfe won their only game of the set. The second set began with each player winning his serve, Rolfe scoring four aces. Pearson and Nickerson then broke through on Brewster's service and took the lead and eventually won the set, 6-4.

In the third set, Pearson and Nickerson won the first two games. Holding them at the back of the court by lobbing, Brewster and Rolfe were able to take the next two by points scored on the latter's terrific smashes. They then took the lead, on Rolfe's serve, for the first time in the match. The following three games however were taken in rapid succession by Pearson and Nickerson before Rolfe again won his serve. With a score of 40-30 on the next game, Pearson took the last point of the match on a smash at Rolfe's feet.

On Tuesday afternoon E. T. Dana 1G, will meet A. Sweetser '11 in the finals for the University singles championship.
