.itil TQSVE --1l----l- 'L+ TENNIS LTHOUGH N.Y.M.A. lost the services of many able tennis players with commencement of last year, the team of 1939 displayed true form and succeeded in win- ning the majority of its matches. Of the six matches played we emerged victorious in three, suffering defeat in the re- maining three. Our first match of the year found us against a superior Peekskill team. Inclement weather had limited our prac- tice preceding the match to a great extent and despite Whit- ten's victory in the singles and that of Cimaglia and Gryn- kraut in the doubles, Finch, Hollander and Schnapp were unable to keep pace and also gain victory. Iona found a slightly improved cadet team the following week, but once again our opponents proved themselves too strong and we suffered our second defeat. Our next three matches showed our team playing excel- lent tennis. Eastside High School was the first opponent to be vanquished by the spirited playing of our team. Finally, against both Irving and Storm King Schools, the superior quality which our racqueteers had attained showed itself and we easily defeated both of them. Unfortunately, we met defeat in our final match against Albany Academy. Their well-balanced team overcame us, but the result of the entire match rested upon the outcome of the last four games. The team this year which included Whitten, Finch, Cim- aglia, Grynkraut, Hollander, Schnapp, Sherry, Scales, Ben- nett and Kutschera may feel well-proud of its record. Those matches which were lost were as hard fought as those which we won, and in all true N.Y.M.A. spirit was displayed. This year also was held the annual Senior and junior Tennis Tournaments. Many cadets entered this both for their own enjoyment and the handsome cups given to the winners and runners-up. This year's tournament was well played by all with Whitten and Finch respective winners in the Senior Tournament and Schnapp and Englehardt in the Junior Tournament. May we here take the opportunity to thank Mr. Wood for the time that he gave the Varsity team in both teach- ing and helping our courtmen and for his fine supervision of both tournaments.
