RACQUETS ACROSS THE SEA

The plans for the tennis team's trip to England will find favor with the game's many followers in the University. Harvard teams have met Oxford and Cambridge in two minor sports, crew and track. This April the University lacrosse team plays an invading Oxford-Cambridge twelve. So the proposed trip to England is quite in line with past policy.

A trip of this kind has many advantages, and no undesirable consequences are apparent. 'As the trip takes place in the summer there is no interference with college work. Since expenses will be covered by the English universities and graduates of Harvard, no financial burden will be imposed on the Athletic Association.

Meets of this kind produce good feeling between the universities of the two countries and enhance the standing of the sport at home. With a reasonable degree of success the tennis team is now in a fair way to become increasingly prominent in University athletics and perhaps may gain the much coveted major sport standing.
