Wilson, Dalrymple Lose Semi-finals To Seeded Favorite, Darkhorse

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Either a pre-season Freshman favorite or a Sophomore dark horse is destined to walk away with the championship of the University tennis world as a result of two hard fought semi-final matches played yesterday on the wind-swept Divinity field-courts.

The finalists are top-seeded A1 Everts, who continued his string of straight victories by defeating third-seeded Norm Dalrymple 6-3, 6-1, and unseeded Dart Harvey, who beat Orme Wilson in a prolonged three-set match 4-6, 12-10, 6-4.

Having survived a long, gruelling affair with Jim Jonkins only two days before, Harvey demonstrated his endurance against Wilson by coming from behind after the first set to outdistance his rival in the last two hard-fought stanzas.

Everts, favorite to win the tournament from the start, had a closer contest than the score indicates with Dalrymple, but his accurate, forcing fame was too much for the former Yale star.

The first men to reach the semi-finals of the Freshman tourney are Cohn and Burton.
