OUTLOOK FOR TENNIS TEAM

Good Nucleus of Players, New Surface on Courts, Spring Schedule, and New Tournament.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Trials for the University tennis team will be held immediately after the spring recess, and prospects for a successful season are better than last year. W. B. Fraser-Campbell '11, is the only member of last year's team who has graduated, but A. H. Tomes '13 is playing baseball instead of tennis, and Q. A. S. McKean '13 and G. W. Wightman '13 are not in College this half-year. Four members of last year's team, however, are available, Captain C. S. Cutting '12, L. I. Grinnell '12, A. J. Lowrey '13, and J. R. Pratt '12, and in addition to these men all the members of the 1914 class team, which for two years has won the College championship, will be available. This includes J. C. Devereux, E. R. Hastings, G. B. Kayser, E. H. Whitney, O. Williams and E. H. Woods. Whitney is the present Intercollegiate tennis champion, and, if Captain Cutting maintains the form shown during the University tournament last fall, two of the places on the team will be unusually well cared for by these men. Other members of the University squad last year who are promising candidates for the 1912 team, are F. C. Gray '12, A. M. Hyde '12, N. E. Paine '13, H. G. Smith '13, and R. Tunis '13.

Plans for New Surface on Courts.

If the resurfacing of the courts with the newly compounded mixture of stone dust and clay is successful, it will help materially in producing a better team than last year, when a number of the men were handicapped by the change from the well-built courts which they had been using during the summer, to those on Jarvis Field.

Schedule for This Season.

Two slight changes in the tennis schedule are the introduction of a match with Brown on May 15, and a change in the date of the Minnesota match from May 27 to May 28.

The dates for the Interscholastic matches have been fixed for Saturday, May 11 and Monday, May 13. It is planned to play through to the semi-finals on Saturday and to complete the matches on Monday.

The complete schedule of spring tennis events follows:

April 24.--Trials for the University team begin.

May 1.--Trials for the Freshman team begin.

May 11.--University team vs. Princeton.

May 11.--Interscholastic tournament begins.
