Tennis Team Will Travel to Tulane This Spring for Southern Tourney

Although missing from the regular schedule for several years, a southern spring trip for the Varsity tennis team has been planned this year for the week of the spring vacation, according to an announcement by Coach Jack Barnaby last night.

Arrangements have just been completed with Tulane University to send eight players and a coach down to New Orleans to participate in a sort of informal tournament between southern and northern college net teams.

The other teams which will take part are not definite yet but it is reported that Princeton and several other northern teams will attend in order to take a crack at the better-than-average southern competition.

First Time South

It will be the first time in history that a Harvard tennis team has travelled so far below the Mason and Dixon, and according to Coach Barnaby, the opportunity of playing against such colleges as Rollins will give the team the kind of head start that has been seriously lacking in previous years.

In view of the present ranking, Barnaby will probably take the following eight players: Captain Orme Wilson, Jim Jenkins, Al Everts, Russ Ellis, Aubrey Gould, Hugh Hyde, Don Daniels, and Lin Burton.

Since the H.A.A. cannot help out at all in the expenses of the trip, Tulane has agreed to put up a sufficient amount of money to cover the cost of most of the trip, the rest probably being paid by the players themselves.
