Learning tennis, at Piping Rock Club, L. I., the Pool brothers, Lawrence and Beekman, often tried the patience of their instructors; but they acquired the foundation for the squash rackets they learned later, at Harvard. At the National Squash Rackets tournament in Baltimore, last week, Lawrence Pool, defending champion, lost to T. E. Jansen Jr., of Boston, in the quarterfinals. Next day, Jansen played Younger Brother Beekman Pool who, still at Harvard and vastly improved in the last year, was at the top of his graceful, fast and brilliantly deceptive game. Pool won the first two sets, 15-5. 15-7, too easily. Over-confident in the third, he lost it, 10-15, and had trouble running out the last points in the fourth, 15-8, for the match and title. Harvard (Patterson, Barnaby. Frame, Cole, Hartford) beat Philadelphia for the team championship, four matches to one.
