Tennis DeVeaux's tennis prospects this season are little better than in past years. Proc Martin has had the boys practicing on the courts until late afternoon in preparation for the coming spring schedule. The five returning lettermen, led by Temp Doswell, are expected to hold down the singles and the .first doubles, but as yet no one has been found to replace last year's fine second doubles combination. Heinze and -A' Stetler seem to be the ones most eligible for the post. After the present contests have been completed, the school will enter into fierce competition for the prized Bidwell Cup, which is. presented annually to the winner of the intramural handicap tennis tournament.

This time to the tune of 31-9. A tall Ridley quint had a fast break that was too much for om' smaller team. The streak was ended by a defeat of 43-30. Pebble Hill of Syracuse caught the quintet on a bad night and took home an un- earned victory. Lake- mont was again defeated as Bell and Doswell threw in shots from all angles. The thriller of the year came against St. Mary's in a game played for the Naismith Fund. A last second shot by Russ won the game for opponents 32-30.
