C. :'!oodward HE tennis team was greatly handicapped this year through the loss of several good men. bur during mid-season it developed into a strong aggregation. Due to rain. early spring practice had to be abandoned. and the early matches showed lack of practice. This. however. was overcome and the racqueters gave a good account of themselves on the court in the remaining matches. Several new men fulfilled the pre- diction that they would excel in match plays and added greatly to the strength of the team. Inclement weather prevented the playing of four matches in which indications pointed to some lively plays. The season opened with a defeat at the hands of Dickinson. 6-0. Matches with George Washington University and Pennsylvania Military College were cancelled. Virginia Polytechnic Institute was entertained at home and the team showed great improvement tbough being defeated 5-2. University of Balti- more was met on the home courts and defeated by the score of 3-2. The next team played was Gettysburg at home. and was lost 4-2: the game with the strong team of Bucknell was lost 6-0. Rain prevented us playing our rivals. University of Maryland. and another scheduled match with Pennslyvania Mili- tary College. The season ended with a tie with Gettysburg 3-3.
