TENNIS RPOSFESSOR R. E. WHITE is largely responsible for placing C. C. on the tennis map. Early in the spring he gathered the net enthusiasts about him and laid plans for tennis tournaments. Professor Anderson was the other faculty member to display a fondness for this form of outdoor exercise, and they with Andrew Smalley, John Thompson, Hiram Vaughter, james Stubblefielcl, Chester Crawford, joe Gordon, Ray- mond Thompson, Thomason, Hugh Dennis composed our squad of tennis bugs. They looked ahead to the time of an intercollegiate track meet. and wisely began arrangements by forming a tennis club and electing the following officers: JAMES STUBBLEFIELD, - - - - President CHESTER CRAWFORD ---- Secretary The greater part of the season was given to practice games among the local mem- WHITE ANDERSON THOMPSON PAGE om: HUNDRED AND rwsrxrv-six

Q If 3 Ks.. in M . TH'E basketball team of boys drove through the season with a record of seven games won and five lost, with a total score of 527 points to their opponents' 360. These figure sare based on all games-those with high schools and with colleges. The total scores gathered at the expense of other collegiates by the Clarendon team reads: C. C. 3165 opponents 288. Hence, the result figured in total scores shows up the team better than does the won and lost reports, in that it reflects conditions in which our team was not used to playing, such as indoor courts-something Clarendon has not--an injured player, or a high wind on an outdoor court. Cnly two men of last year's quintet were back-Maples and Garrett. Maples just recovered from a football injury barely in time to go out for basketball, and Garrett was handicapped by having to play with strange team mates. However, the team rounded into shape under Coach Burton's guidance, and played and won six games be- fore dropping one to Canyon, 36 to 20. Smalley showed himself to be as sterling a goal pitcher as his reputation before coming to C. C. indicated. Joplin and Vernon took on all the ear marks of experienced guards, and Moreman proved to be a good center with a world of energy that never gave out. Their schedule, when played out, looked like this: Clarendon 29 -- ....

bers of the club in preparation for their intercollegiate meets at Canyon, held 'A-pril twenty-ninth and thirtieth. By the time April had come around the best players among the students had shown up to be Crawford, Gordon, Stubblefield, Vaughter, and Smalley. This narrowing clown process endured from February, when the club was begun, to April twenty-sixth when the elimination contests were pulled off on the local courts to de- tennine the players to represent Clarendon in the track meet at Canyon. A half day of great playing resulted in Crawford, Stubblefield, and C-ordon being eliminated in the doubles matches by Vaughter and Smalley. The contest for the singles title in C. C. came to the doubles champions-Vaughter and Smalley-and was won by the latter. The results at Canyon probably will not be known in time to appear in The Wester. but from the exihibition put up by the players in the contests here we may feel confident of a good showing for C. C.
