NET ASPIRANTS GATHER AT SEASON'S OPENING

The Harvard tennis season opened yesterday afternoon with a meeting of the University and Freshman netmen at the Freshman Athletic Building. Coincident with the meeting, announcement was made of plans for the development of a league of class tennis teams, a further development of the Athletics-for-all policy of the H. A. A. About 40 men responded to the call for candidates yesterday.

The first three positions on the net team seem to be well-filled by Captain J. F. W. Whitbeck '27, L. H. Gordon '27 and P. M. Lenhart '27. Whitbeck recently won the indoor intercollegiate title. Other members of the squad who are considered among the leading contestants for the remaining berths on the team are B. H. Whitbeck Jr. '29, J. H. Appleton '29, Robeson Bailey '29, S. F. Thompson '29, H. W. Sayles '28, J. C. Rueter '28, and S. G. French '28.

The Freshman squad has unusually strong material this Spring. Among the outstanding candidates are M. T. Hill, a former Loomis star, Arthur Ingraham Jr., Exeter tennis captain for the last three years, E. B. Ward, of the Santa Barbara School, and R. S. Winslow, from the Rivers School.

Entries for the tournament must be filed at Leavitt and Peirce's, Cowles' Tennis Shop, or with Manager R. M. Bennett '28 in 45 Dunster before 5 o'clock on Saturday, April 2.
