HUPD Chief Says Harvard Yard Encampment is Peaceful, Defends Students’ Right to Protest
With the score tied at one set each from the previous day's play, which was interrupted by darkness, J. F. W. Whitbeck '27 playing in top form, won his way to the finals yesterday. When he captured two straight sets from L. H. Gordon '27, giving him a 6 4, 1 6, 6 1, 6 2 victory.
Gordon, who finished the first day's play with a burst of speed which enabled him to take six games in a row, succumbed yesterday before the steady brilliance of Whitbeck's game. The winner's shots were severe, and his flat drive repeatedly passed Gordon at the net or streaked down the side lines for placements. Whitbeck was getting length into his strokes, and his overhead net play and volleying were the best he has displayed this fall.
