Court Tournament To Start Monday

Unless the tennis playing talent of Radcliffe is persuaded to venture to the Tennis and Squash Shop by 6 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, the women's singles matches in the Red Cross Tennis Tournament must be cancelled. Last night 17 civilian and service students at Harvard and only two women had entered the contest, which will be played on the Business School Courts beginning next Monday evening.

Last summer 55 men, no women since the women's singles are scheduled this year for the first time, battled for four weeks until Jack Lynch, Navy V-12, won the finals. As all proceeds go to the Cambridge Chapter of the Red Cross there were no cash awards, but the first and second men received certificates of merit from the U.S.L.T.A. As an added inducement this year the loser will pay for the tennis balls unless both players agree otherwise.
