1981 REED COLLEGE ANNUAL + 1915 Boyrie, ,17, 5 ft. 2 in; broad jump, Brace, 115. In comparison with other colleges these records fall far short; they merely 5110 what average ability combined with no special training wil accomplish. TENNIS Tennis has always occupied a prominent place in Reedis athletic activities. Two cement courts which wer redy with the opening of the college on its permanent campus, hav been largee 1y responsible for keeping tennis to the fore. With these courts it has been possible to play tennis during every month of the scool year. With the completion this spring of four new cement courts, tennis has been given another material boost. With such complete equipment in tennis there hav been turna- ments of every kind. The first menis turnament, open singles only, was held in the spring of the second college year. About twenty men, in- cluding members of the faculty, enterd. In the finals, Lance- field won the championship of the college by defeating Sabin in four fast sets. Early the next fall an open singles handicap turnament was run off with thirty entries. After close matches thruout the turnament, Dr. Torrey was the final victor. No regular turnaments wer held the remainder of the third year, but clas series wer playd off between both singles and doubles teams. The representativs of the Clas of 1915, Sabin and Lancefield, won this series with a clean sheet of victories. The freshmen wer second with four points out of a possible ten, while the sofomores secured but one victory in their ten matches. Willman, Larrabee and Riddle represented the freshmen, while S. Smith and Buland composed the sofomore team. Last fall an open singles turnament was held, but the winner was never officially decided. Forty-eight men en- terd the turnament, which was playd off in two weeks. Owing to rain on the last day before he left for the East, Dr. Foster was unable to play the final match with Dr. Rees. A ranking of the men players made on the basis of this turn- ament has run thruout the year. About fifty, nearly half of the college men, wer rankt at this time. This spring the ranking was made the basis for a handicap turnament, run off during April. Later, open singles and doubles with clas turnaments wil wind up the season. BASEBALL Baseball has always been one of the most, if not the most, popular of sports at Reed. Altho the game has been more or les handicapt by the uncertainty of diamonds, it has reniaind the most widely supported of the spring athletic activities. The game has never been developt to any great degree of ex-
