Triumphing after two hard-fought sets, George F. Lowman '38 2L swept to victory in the University tennis tournament finals held this afternoon on the Business School courts by beating John G. Palfrey '40 6-2, 7-5.
Lowman was a dark horse, although he was one of the scored players, and was not given a chance to boat Burt, who had won the tournament for the past three years. Burt, Lowman, and Palfrey got to the semi-finals as expected, but then Palfrey pulled an upset by defeating Burt after dropping the first set.
Palfrey, who is a southpaw, played a smooth game, but the cleverness of Lowman unnerved him. Although he dropped the first set after putting up a game battle, he made a brilliant comeback in the second set and came very close to taking the title away from Lowman.
Three of the seeded players in the tournament were members of the Oxford-Cambridge squad which played in England last summer, namely, Burt, Gilkey, who defeated in this tournament, and Palfrey.
