U.S.N.L.T.A. Favors Making Tennis Major Sport in Colleges

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

In reply to a request from the University tennis management for the attitude of the United States Lawn Tennis Association in regard to the awarding of a major letter, Mr. S. Wallace Merrihew, editor of "American Lawn Tennis," official organ of the U. S. N. L. T. A., wrote as follows:

"Recognition by colleges of lawn tennis as a major sport is a matter which I have very much at heart. The U. S. N. L. T. A. is anxious to do everything possible to accomplish this. You can therefore rely on whole-hearted assistance from us. I want nothing more than to have you send me the article which you speak of on this subject, and we will publish it in 'American Lawn Tennis' thus starting a vigorous campaign along these lines. I believe that in this way something worth while can be accomplished. Similar efforts are being made at many other colleges and full publicity to the movement will be given through the Association in 'American Lawn Tennis'.

"The fall tournament at Harvard was so notable a one that we will give it considerably more space than we usually do to college meetings."
