126 THE CAERULEAN With several matches yet to play as this account is writ- ten, Sukhsvasti still has to play the best players of Episcopal Academy and West Philadelphia High School, who met as finalists in the Penn Tournament. He will have had an un- usually interesting seasonf Ellice McDonald has played a very consistent game at number two. His hard-won victory over Lawrance, at -Bordentown, was an upset, in his favor, and he turned in victories later, even when the team was losing. With another season's experience, McDonald, with his hard second serve, strong back hand, sound ground strokes and ability to take the net, should be one of the best singles players in the city. Carl Sheppard has done good work in singles and doubles. He developed excellent form early in the year, and only needs more match experience to develop into a dangerous singles opponent. Charles Dick was out for the team but left school. His chances of winning a high place were excellent. Sturges, and Williams, J., played in some of the matches and showed much promise. With more experience and greater con- trol, either would have ranked next to our leaders. Pedro de Ceballos has made remarkable improvement. Starting in the second flight, he worked up to the second doubles team and is sure of seeing much service in next yearas matches. Hammond played for us once and pulled a three-set battle out of the fire. Lee, L., Blanchard, W., and de Narvaez, A., were junior members of the squad. They participated in the two monthly tournaments and daily practice. All three have good strokes and understand the fundamentals of strategy. They will certainly work up on the list as time goes on. At the present time it is not known what recognition the tennis players will receive this year. Minor sport letters have been recommended and would do much to confirm the renewed interest in the game. There is a possibility of enter- ing a Chestnut Hill team in the lnteracademic League tennis matches next year. If this is done, the prospects of making a good showing are excellent. By graduation we will lose Sukhsvasti and Sturges only. Seven experienced players will remain, and there should be keen competition for places on the team, and a good fight to every school we meet.
