William Thomson Chapin Tennis UNFORTUNATELY interscholastic tennis is divided into two seasons by the summer vacation. This necessitates the holding of two tournaments, one in the spring and the other in early fall. The three winners of the spring matches arc sent to Decphaven. where they compete for the interscholastic championship of the northwest. “W's” arc awarded to this team by the Athletic Board. Last spring it was composed of: Harold Williams................................Champion Harold Chapin................................Second Man Everett Cox...................................Third Man While West did not show up wonderfully well, the tournament gave the men valuable experience for the coming 1910 championship. The Fall Tournament is really held only for practice and to keep up the Tuxnty.scocn

Fcelcy Rom Gee Robertson Scott Track Team IT IS A hard proposition to say anything of interest of a track team, as early as it is necessary to write this article, for serious training has just begun, and there have been no interscholastic meets in which the team might test its worth. It has. however, got an excellent start, and there is an abundance of spirit and enthusiasm among those fellows who really intend to go into the sport with an earnestness. I hrough the courtesy of Dr. Grant, of the University, the team has the use of the Armory indoor track lor one morning each week, and this is a great help toward putting the men in a fit condition. 1 he hard outdoor work will come as soon as the weather warms up sufficiently to allow it. Albert J. Robertson was re-elected manager from last year, and he has had charge of the team since the season opened, with its winter training in the latter part of December. At a meeting several weeks ago Alvin Scott was chosen as captain for 1910. and with his aid. both as a runner and leader, there is no reason why West High’s track team should not be one of the first rank.

In the three tournaments thus far held in this school, great interest has been shown, and from twenty to thirty candidates have entered for the three positions. 1 his spring it will be started extra early, and even more candidates are both looked and hoped for.
