There were about twentyffive entries for the singles and sixteen for the doubles. On account of the Term being so short and the great number of activities going on, the Finals were held quite early in june. Prance won the singles from Collett II and was awarded the Barnacle Cup for the year. The doubles were won by Prance and Beckton against Carle I and Jackson. Considering his age, the most promising player in the School this year was Collett II. There is little doubt that he will be an effective contestant in the future. Athletic socks were awarded to Prance and Beckton, as the usual bag and tennis balls were not available. 32
