VARSITY TENNIS SQUAD
?;ennis of interest is being shown in tennis this season, despite its being classed a minor sport. This has been due principally to the erection of the new tennis courts north of R idenbaugh Hall. Construction of these courts was started last summer and they were completed at the start of the present school year. The total playing space consists of four courts of regulation size and are of asphalt construction. Th e problem of d rain age was taken care of so that they are kept dry except in very wet weather. Strong back-stops were made so that all exercise is confined to the courts. Considerable playing was done last fall, and the appearance of spring weather has made the courts a very popular place and a good means for exercise. A schedu le has not been made thus far for the coming season, but will probably include matches with Whitman and W.S.C. The Varsity squad will consist of eight men, four of whom will compose a team. Beardslee Merrill, H ayden Carney, Charles Carney, Clifford Coons, Cyprin Taylor, F loyd Albertson, Robert Ailshie and Bill Calloway will make up the Varsity quad. An all-college tournament is being conducted in order to pick the best players on the campus, and they in turn may challenge any of the Varsity players. If they win two out of three sets they will take the former's place on the team. Due to the interest shown in tennis this year and the good courts on which to practice, it is expected that the Vandal tennis team will make a favorable showing.
