In former years, probably before foot-ball became predominantly a college game, and one of greatest interest among all the sports, Emory and Henry sent out representative tennis teams and mono- grams were awarded. Then, for some inexplainable reason, tennis interest waned, and no intercollegiate matches were held. Again, however, the tennis spirit is being manifested (in the love games played by Ed and Co-ed) and plans are being made for an increase in tennis facilities. Fine showing by local teams for the past few years has been remarkable in view of the fact that tennis has been a minor sport. The student-body boasts of some of the best players to be found in this section, and a record should be established for Emory and Henry on the tennis court as soon as the adequate facilities arc provided. 114

rijC 41 Iunx 1923 Baseball Review Looking hack over the previous baseball season it cannot be said that it was an amazing success, but by no means was it a failure. Although the number of collegiate games lost slightly exceeded those we won, the Wasps at times put forth a brand of baseball that some of the superior teams could not excell. The season opened up April 6 on the local diamond with Tusculum at the bat. “Lady Luck did not deal so merrily with us that day and they left the field with a score of 5-3 to their credit. The next day Emory came into her own and 'ruscu- lum retired with a 5-3 loss. Apparently the Wasps had struck their stride. Maryville came next on the schedule. The first game with them was easy, Felts pitching the Wasps to a 16-5 victory. On the following day, however, Maryville made a comeback and scored 15 to our 2, thus splitting the scries. The next game was a surprise to everybody. We played the Lebanon Leaguers on their home grounds and in spite of our efforts to stage a ninth inning rally we lost. The score was 6-5. And likewise the game following was a story of defeat. “Sitting Bull,” the twirler for the Milligan Buffaloes had enough stuff on him to baffle a squad of Ty Cobbs. The game ended with 9 runs for Milligan and the minimum amount for the Fullcrtonites. The next game was with the Bristol State Liners. The Wasps put up good opposition, but the Liners departed with the long end of a 14-3 count as was expected. After the game with the State Liners the invasion of the territory to the eastward was begun, meeting Roanoke College on April 30, for the first game of the Eastern trip; Emory batted herself to a 4-1 victory. On the next day we met Lynchburg and the meeting resulted somewhat dis- astrously. Allen and Debusk were not equal to the task and they received poor support. I he final score was 14 to 1. Hampdcn-Sidncy administered very much the same kind of a pill as Lynchburg, only in smaller proportions. Felts did the mound work and held them to fewer hits. The Wasps did better at scoring, too, making 5 to Hampden-Sidney’s 10. Washington and Lee came last on the visit to Eastern Virginia, and they came in for their share of the victory. The final score was 5 to 2. The Wasps started their homeward journey with three defeats and one victory to their credit. On May 12 East Tennessee State Normal invaded Waspville and they were promptly trimmed by a 11 to 3 count. The next day they managed to gain 9 113
