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
