An unusually long schedule of 18 matches has been arranged for the University tennis team this spring, including a Southern trip, on which seven matches are to be played in eight days. Dartmouth, Brown, Cornell, Pennsylvania, California, West Side Tennis Club, Longwood Cricket Club, Princeton, and Yale are some of the strongest teams which the Crimson racket men will face.
Because of the loss by graduation of Captain F. W. Hatch '19, and by illness of F. C. Hanighen '21, the mainstays of last year's team, the prospects for this season are very uncertain. The team suffered defeat at the hands of the Longwood Cricket Club, Princeton, and Yale in 1919, and will experience considerable difficulty this year unless more regular practice is introduced than was held last season.
Informal Practice at Chestnut Hill
Some attempt to get the players into shape for the Southern trip has been made by informal practice at the covered courts at Chestnut Hill, but outdoor practice is still far off, due to the continued inclement weather. R. N. Williams, 2nd., 16, former national champion, has offered to do as much coaching as his limited time allows.
The material for this year's team consists of a well-balanced group of reasonably good players, but includes no stars. Captain G. W. Helm '20, who played on last year's team, L. A. deTurenne '21, C. H. Hyams '21, and J. B. Fenno, Jr., '21, regulars of 1919, D. P. Robinson, Jr., '20, R. R. Weaver '21, G. W. Caner '21, W. T. Richards '21, of the second team, and C. P. Holmes '22, C. Wakefield '22, L. D. Hill '22, and F. T. Pratt '22, of last year's Freshman team are among the promising players who will strive for the team this spring.
