EQUIPMENT FOR THE TENNIS TEAM.

With the erection of the new courts and grandstand at Divinity Field, tennis really becomes an organized sport in the University. Not only will the new facilities aid in development of better tennis teams, but they will strengthen the sport financially by means of admission charges to tournaments.

The past record of former Harvard players shows that tennis is a sport worthy of this expansion. Of the thirteen men who have won national championships in the United States since national tournaments were instituted in 1885, ten have been college graduates; and of the ten, eight were from Harvard, one from Cornell, and one from Yale. Not only has Harvard had a preponderance of national champions, but has always appeared in the "first tens" of ranking players; and last summer the University was represented by three men in the first group.
