UNIVERSITY TENNIS TEAM TO HAVE SPECIAL COURTS

Among the more important matches scheduled for the University tennis team during the coming season will be those with Cornell, Pennsylvania, Princeton, and Leland Stanford, the contest with the Tigers being regarded as the match of primary consideration. In preparation for those matches the team and the general standard of tennis at the University will have an opportunity for development as great if not greater than that of the best country clubs in the vicinity of Boston.

Particular stress will be laid on the work of the University team, and every effort has been made to obtain conditions under which the players may practice regularly and without interruption. To this end, eight new courts, of the very highest order, have been built on Divinity Field. These courts will be reserved exclusively for the University team, and their construction is practically completed, except for a little resurfacing in the spring, to put them in first-rate condition. Screens will be placed at the ends of the courts so as to improve the light and, indirectly, to exclude the public.

As an important and fitting accompaniment to the eight new courts, a grandstand, which will hold some four or five hundred spectators, will be built in the course of the next two or three weeks. Season tickets, which will admit spectators to the grandstand for all University, Freshman, Second Team, and Interscholastic matches, will be sold at $1.00 apiece. A season ticket will admit the holder to over twenty matches between the University teams and outsiders. Tickets for individual matches will be sold for 25 cents each. No one will be admitted to the grounds without a ticket.

Trials for the University team will start on Wednesday, March 29. Candidates for the position of Second Assistant Manager of the University team will be called out on Monday, March 27, and candidates for the managership of the Freshman team, one week later.
