1934 THE GREATONIAN Young Capt. Kane Cornely Forman Halfpenny Mc I lvaine 4 Tennis ENNIS has always been somewhat retarded at St. Joseph's, due to the perennial poor condi- tion of the courts, but this year, with the courts in tirst class condition, prospects point to an even better tennis year at the College than we have ever had. 'And our past record has constantly been a successful one, for during the last five seasons, we have always won a majority of our matches. The loss of the angular Hughie Quinn through graduation is the biggest handicap the present team has to overcome, for i-lughie, last year's captain, was one of the best players in the Philadelphia district. But Captain Bill Kane, who will play No. l, promises that his team will be even stronger, all down the line, than last year's. Joe Cornely, Jack Mcllvaine and Joe Young are three veterans who, will be on the squad with l-loward Forman, Earl Crane and Henry Arons probably completing the line-up.

However, last year, l933, nine matches out of fourteen were won and this year, with twenty men vying for varsity positions, five of whom are veterans, the prospects are better than good. At this writing, the first match is 'still a week away. Swarthmore, Haverford, F. and M., Temple and a half dozen others are scheduled for matches during the next two months. Bob Crowley, '35, this year's captain, has always played a fine game, maintaining an average of 75. He will play the No. l position. Joe DeBerardinis, a Freshman phenomenon, is to play the No. 2 post, while Tom Quinn, Joe Stanton, Leo Murphy and Tom Brennan, all last year's aggregates, will cross niblicks with several newcomers for the remaining four positions. The Cedarbrook Country Club has graciously extended the use of its course to the team for the home matches and practice. Jim Byrne, '34, manager, assures us a successful season.
