Explanation of Tennis Reservations.

To the Editors of the CRIMSON:

There still seems to be some misunderstanding in regard to the new system of reserving tennis courts at Jarvis Field. The regulations as here set forth should be considered as displacing all those previously announced, which may appear contradictory.

Periods of play begin at quarter of and quarter past the hour, starting at 7.45 A. M. In making reservations, the names of both players must appear on the chart. (In case of doubles, four names are necessary). This applies when signing at Jarvis Field and also at Leavitt & Peirce's, where a blue-book for afternoon reservations will be found daily, not later than 8 A. M. on the day of play. No court may be reserved by the same player for more than one hour and a half during any afternoon. All players who have reserved a court must be on that specific court precisely at the beginning of the period or else forfeit the use of the court for the entire time they signed for. In signing for courts, everyone should pay particular attention to the number of the court for which he signed, as well as to the time he should begin play--every court has an individual number (shown on the blackboard at each court) which corresponds to the number printed on the reservation chart. Below this chart will be found a plan of the courts, for use by players unfamiliar with the location by number of the courts. Payment for the use of courts is made as heretofore, at each court, when play commences. A singles match, playing on a doubles court, may be displaced by a doubles match at any time without refund.

These few points, it might seem, could be mastered by the average man if any attention was paid to them. Yet there have been numerous complaints and difficulties arising on the Field. The Management is very desirous that this system be continued and be made a success. To insure this it is always ready to explain the system and help a man out of his difficulties in signing for courts. On the other hand, it expects everyone to co-operate and help in making things run smoothly. R. E. ALLEN '15.   Manager.
