Tennis The Tennis Tournament was held early in the Summer term and resulted in the victory of R. L. Young in the Singles and of Teagle and Field in the Doubles. Teagle faced Young in the Singles final and might well have won had he adopted more forceful methods, but he was content to play Young's game, made little attempt to unsettle his steady opponent, and was well beaten 6f1, 6f3. Young played a cool and steadv game throughout and is to be congratulated on winning the Barnacle Cup emblematic of the championship of the School, in his first year. In the Doubles final Teagle and Field dropped the first set to Pott and ,Ieanneret but won the next two sets and the match 4f6, 6f3, '7f5. There was little to choose between the teams but on the play Jeanneret appeared to be the most promising doubles player of the four. s One outside match was played, three doubles teams, Teagle and Field, Pott and Jeanneret, Young i and Henderson, enjoying a fine afternoon on the courts of the Victoria High School who won easily. No colours were awarded and the Tennis Six for the year was composed of R. L. Young, E. F.. Teagle, A. W. Field, P. W. jean' neret, F. H. S. Pott and S. W. Henderson.
