The seiies of matches to be played
this fall will determine the champion
ship of the school and offer material
for the squad of eight men to engage
next spring in the interscholaBlie
matches with the Missouri Valley con
ference schools In the opinion of
Guy Williams, who Is In charge at
tennis arrangements, there are in
numerable racquet sharks in BchooJ,
and the prospects for a capable team
are limited only by poor facilities in
the grounds furnished for play In
comparison with the courts furnished
by Nebraska's sister schools, those at
Nebraska are most Inadequate The
present grounds furnished to those In
terested in the sport consist of two
courts, east of the athletic grounds,
very pool ly taken care of at any time
and practically useless when damaged
by the trespasses of youthful hall play
ers in wet weather
