TENNIS TOURNAMENT AT PHILA. NEXT FALL

The annual Intercollegiate Tennis Tournament will be held at the Merion Cricket Club, Philadelphia, beginning Tuesday, September 12, and will continue throughout the week. It will follow the national open championships.

The University team will be considerably weakened by the loss of Captain R. N. Williams, 2d, '16, but judging from the successful spring season this year, will have a good chance of winning.

Trials will probably be held during the preceding week, to decide who shall enter. R. Harte '17, who has twice won the doubles title, with R. N. Williams, 2d, '16, should be a strong contender in the singles this year. He has been unable to play this spring because of baseball. G. C. Caner '17, who has been playing second man for the University all spring, W. Rand, 3d, '17, H. G. M. Kelleher '18, W. D. D. Morgan '18, and J. S. Pfaffmann '17, if he does not decide to complete his undergraduate work this spring, will also compete in the singles. Captain R. C. Rand '19, and F. S. Ritchie '19, of the Freshman team, may also win places among the entries. In the doubles, Caner will probably pair either with Rand, with whom he has been playing in matches this spring, or with Harte, with whom he has had considerable experience.

Against them, the University players will have such stars as Beekman of Princeton, and Captain Weber of Yale. It is especially hard to predict how the matches with these men will come out from this spring's scores, as the best man on each opposing team was met by Williams, who graduates this month.

Thirteen Victories This Year.

The tennis team has had a most successful season this year, losing but two matches, one to the West Side Club of New York, and one to the Longwood Club, both by close scores. The University players won thirteen matches from important college teams in the east, such as Yale, Princeton, Cornell, Dartmouth, Pennsylvania, and Leland Stanford from the west, and from such clubs as the Agawam Hunt Club, of Providence, the Philadelphia Cricket Club, the Chevy Chase Club, and the Norfolk Country Club.

Captain R. N. Williams, 2d, '16 went through the season undefeated in the singles, and lost only one match in the doubles. G. C. Caner '17 lost only one match in singles.

For playing for the first time in a match with Yale, Arthur Sylvester Peabody '16, of Malden, Hugh Garland Meem Kelleher '18, of Seattle, Wash., and William Dudley Diggs Morgan '18, of Washington, D. C., are entitled to receive the "H. T. T.," subject to the approval of the Athletic Committee.

New Courts Great Improvement.

The success of the season was rendered more complete by the addition of the eight new championship courts on Divinity Field. The new grandstand allowed the attendance of a considerable number of spectators, over 450 attending the match with Leland Stanford last Tuesday.

The second team had a fairly successful season, beating Tufts, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and other teams. Next year, with a manager of its own, the schedule will be enlarged.

The Freshman team was beaten by Dartmouth 1919, but won its matches from Yale 1919, Exeter, Andover, and Milton. It also beat a picked team from the Law School.

The interscholastic tournament was larger this year than last year, having forty-six entrants. Andover again won this on the point-system, as well as having the winner, Harrison, and the runner-up, Webber.
