UNIVERSITY NET MEET DRAWS RECORD THRONG

The entry list for this year's University tennis tournament broke all previous records for the annual event when the list closed yesterday with 185 men entered. In the first day's play yesterday, the ten seeded players came through without a mishap and Coach Harry Cowles expects to glean some excellent material from this array of racquet candidates. Among the most promising of these is M.T. Hill '30, holder of last year's national junior doubles championship. Hill graduated from Loomis School last spring and has been widely heralded as one of the best junior prospects in years.

Champion Entered Again.

Only one of last year's two finalists is appearing in this year's tournament. He is J.F.W. Whitbeck '27, captain of this year's tennis team. Alden Briggs, G.B., the other finalist failed to return to the University this year. Frank Donovan 1L., former Notre Dame star, and a seeded player, like Hill has never appeared in a University tennis event previous to this year.

Coach Harry Cowles is well pleased with the material on hand this year. He has a strong nucleus around which to build a championship team.

Coach Cowles announced yesterday the seeded players in this year's tournament. They are ranked in the following order:

J.F.W. Whitbeck '27, L.H. Gordon '27, P.M. Lenhart '27, M.T. Hill '30, W.T. Smith 1G.B., Frank Donovan H.T.E. Janson Jr., L. Stephan Thompson '27.

All of the seeded players survived the first day's play yesterday, each winning with comparative case.
