started this week, one for men and
one for women. About fifty men and
twenty-five women have signed up for
play In the tournaments. Drawings

club.
Over two hundred and fifty persons
have signed up for membership In the
Uni'-erslty Tennis Club. Tennis at
present has the second largest squad
in University, track alone surpassing
It with a membership of a little over
three hundred. It Is quite possiblo
that tennis may surpass track and
become the leading sport in point of
number of participants. This is con
sidered very gratifying by the athletic
department, as tennts Is one of the
sports which has great value to its
devotees many years after they leave
college.
Twenty courts are now open for
play and most of them are in use from
In the morning until dark. Two
more courts will probably be com
pleted th s week. Four new court i
are under construction at the Unlvcr.
