TENNIS PROSPECTS BRILLIANT

The prospects that Harvard will be exceedingly well represented at the intercollegiate tennis tournament at the Merion Cricket Club, Philadelphia, Pa., this fall are very bright. The team this spring defeated Amherst 4 to 2, Technology 9 to 0, University of Pittsburgh 6 to 0, Dartmouth 5 to 1, and Yale 7 to 2. The only defeat by a college team was that inflicted by Princeton, Harvard winning only three of the nine matches.

A Number of Excellent Players.

E. H. Whitney '14, intercollegiate champion in 1911, and member of last year's team, together with W. M. Washburn '15 and J. C. Devereux '14 of last year's team, are eligible to participate this fall. There are in addition several men ineligible for this year's team who will be able to represent the University in the fall. The best of these, R. N. Williams '16, a member of the American team which leaves for England today, is the logical winner of the tournament, there being no one else in his class among the collegians. Another player of marked ability who was ineligible this year because of only one year's residence in the University, is J. J. Armstrong '14, who is ranked, as is Washburn, in the second ten of the national rank list.

Other Material of High Calibre.

Of the members of the 1916 team, J. S. Pfaffmann is the most promising candidate, although C. C. Felton and J. Wooldredge may show good form. E. R. Hastings, Jr., '14, members of this year's team may also be heard from in the trials for the team. A. J. Lowrey '13 is the only man to be lost through graduation, and with four such men as R. N. Williams '16, E. H. Whitney '14, W. M. Washburn '15, and J. J. Armstrong '14, both ranked in the second group, it looks as though the new University team will be the strongest she ever produced.

Trials for Team to Come Soon.

Trials for the team to represent the University at Philadelphia will be held shortly, and all members will be chosen by competition, along with several substitutes.
