PRELIMINARIES IN TENNIS

The varsity and freshman tennis schedules which were recently announced were harbingers of active outdoor practice on the Alumni Gymnasium courts, and work is now on in earnest. Stimulated by a lecture on "Tennis Tactics" by Dwight Douglass, a well-known professional player, which was given April 21, the interest in this sport has been better than usual this year, and the management anticipates a correspondingly successful season. For the first time in several years, if not in the history of the sport, a coach has been secured, and F. H. Harris '11, former captain of tennis, has been in charge of practice.

The two schedules are as follows:

Varsity—May 4, Faculty at Hanover; May 6, Harvard at Hanover; May 8, Brown at Providence: May 9, Wesleyan at Middletown; May 10, Yale at New Haven; May 13, Amherst at Hanover; May 15-18, New England Intercollegiates at Boston; May 20, University of Pennsylvania at Hanover; May 24,' Dartmouth 1919 at Hanover; May 27, Cornell at Ithaca; May 29, Springfield Training School at Spring-field; May 30, Williams at Williamstown.

Freshman—May 5, Hotchkiss School at Lakeville, Conn.; May 6, Yale 1919 at New Haven; May 11, Faculty at Hanover; May 18, Harvard 1919 at Cambridge; May 19, Andover at Andover; May 20, Exeter at Exeter; May 24, Varsity at Hanover.
