LAY PLANS FOR TENNIS TEAM'S EUROPEAN TRIP

TWO UNIVERSITY MEN HAVE MET ENGLISHMEN TWICE

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Shortly after the Intercollegiate tennis matches to be held in Philadelphia the latter part of June, three members of the University tennis team will sail for England to participate in the fourth annual Harvard, Yale-Oxford, Cambridge Tennis Tournament, according to an announcement made yesterday. Expenses for the trip will be divided among the four Universities, $1000 each having been appropriated by the Athletic Associations of Yale and Harvard. After the tournament in England, a trip through France and Spain is contemplated, playing first in competition with clubs around Paris, and then a match with the French Davis Cup Team. Following this the team will journey to Spain for matches with clubs at San Sebastian. A tentative match with the Spanish Davis Cup Team has been arranged. The players will return in time to resume their studies in September.

In England, matches will be played at Wimbledon with the Queens Club, Roehampton, and other clubs in the vicinity of London. Then will follow a weeks sojourn on the Isle of Wight, after which the team will return to Eastbourn where the tournament with Oxford and Cambridge will be played.

Will Sail From New York July 5

The team will sail from from New York about July 5, and courts will be provided on the steamship where the players may indulge in daily practice. This practice and conditioning should enable the men to arrive in England in excellent condition, and they should quickly become acclimated to the change of climate.

Although the Oxford-Cambridge combination was victorious last summer in the matches at Newport, prospects for a Harvard-Yale victory in the coming tournament are ususually bright. Captain K. S. Pfaffman '24 and W. W. Ingraham '25 of the University, and Captain A. W. Jones of Yale, will be invading England for their second time, having played against Oxford-Cambridge the last three years. The remaining position on the University team will probably be contested by W. P. Dixon '25, Alden Briggs '25, L. H. Bondi '25, and J. W. Whitbeck '27.
