TENNIS TEAM ENDED SEASON WITH DECISIVE VICTORY

The University Tennis team showed its real strength by defeating Yale, 8 matches to 1 on the courts of the Longwood Cricket Club on Saturday. As both teams had lost to Cornell and Princeton, a closer match had been expected. The University players exhibited fine form, however, and the only match which counted for Yale was won by M. Burnham over L. Curtis, 2d, '16.
