TENNIS PLAYERS Chase, Meyers, Sagel, Galinson, Silverlieb, Rocklcr Brickman, Dudick, Schneider, Sieg, Blumberg Lauderdale, Michels TENNIS Through the efforts of a very capable and athletically inclined G. A. A. member, Ruth Lauderdale, the new sport, tennis, was introduced. Ruth took full charge of the tournament, in which twenty-two girls participated. All of the girls that took part in the lirst two games received lifty points and those included in the first three games received seventy-flve points. The players of the final game received one hundred points. The semi-linal game was played by Beatrice Blumberg and Esther Dudick, and Ruth Lauderdale and Lucille Michels. The linal game was a very exciting and hard fought battle between Ruth L. and Lucille M. over which Lucille prevailed. In the fmal tournament Ruth and Lucille both won their own serves. The score for first half was a tie, but by excellent playing Lucille captured the championship with a linal score of 68. The wonderful weather of the fall made it possible to play all but the last two games out-of-doors. The semi-flnal and final games were played 1n the gymnasium. Games were played on Monday nights. The girls, full of enthusiasm and interest, gathered in the parks and playgrounds to playtthe1r games. Although not all of the girls knew how to play tennis, they all enjoyed it,- for a good many girls learned how to play. Of the many new sports at Lincoln this one is rapidly gaining popularity. 67
