l ' A ' 7 TIENNIIS I In the Spring of 1929 Monroe High made its debut into the field of tennis, a half a dozen would-be players responding to the call. Without courts of its own to practice on, the team was compelled to confine its work-outs largely to practicing strokes against a brick wall. This type of practice was supplemented by work-outs on the Country Club and the Detroit Beach courts at such times as permission could be secured to use these two courts. Five matches were played during the season, all of them on the courts of rival teams. Four of these teams: namely, Ferndale, Wyandotte, Adrian and Tecumseh, had been in tennis competition for a number of years and all proved too experienced for Monroe's budding players, but Grosse Pointe, a team which was also entering its first year of competition, succumbed to the determined onslaught of Sawyer, Mclntyre, Mitchell and Renner. Although the season could not be considered a triumph from the stand- point of matches won, it produced the desired results and the beginning of the 1930 season finds 34 candidates out pounding the brick walls of the gym. Two school courts are being prepared for this year's team and should be ready for use before the season is far advanced, although it is now apparent that these cannot be completed in time for the first few matches. A stiff schedule has been prepared and Monroe High has entered officially into Southeastern League competition. The following teams will be played during the 1930 season: April 30-Adrian Cherel May 9-Grosse Pointe Ctherej May 2-Wyandotte Ctherel May 16-Fordson fherel May 7-Birmingham Qherej May 19-River Rouge fherej 84
