The courts have always been full and the numbers using them have mounted high. Organized tennis this year is under the managership of Lloyd M. Steele and he has arranged the playing schedules and meets. At the beginning of the season he arranged a competitive tourney which was taken up by the campus racqueters With much enthusiasm as is shown by the numbers participatingwsome fifty men. To encourage interest in the sport, Kimball-Upson C0,, of Sacramento, has donated a cup to the organization-Dormitory, Fraternity, 0r Faculty-Wh0 shalt make the highest number of points in the tournament and to this writing the latter are in the lead.

If the Aggies could have met Southern Branch of the University Of California they would,rn0 rioubt, have been Inter-collegiate Champions of California this year: I he bouthern Branch des1red a 111th with the Aggies but it was 1mp0ss1ble to arrange a schedule so late in the season; the Aggies will probably meet them next season. To Coach McCorkle, miich credit is due for the manner in which he developed the fighters thls year. Starting out With a bunch of men that looked anything else but Champlonshlp materlal he developed a team that was a strong contencler fer the Champlonshlp. Many a fight was won by his 0001, quick, adylce given durmg the minute rests between gongs. He obtained the oilicnals who ruled at the meets in the Aggie Gym, and he did that part well. The 0H101als that we had were fair in their decisions to both sides and as unprej udiced as could be. Next to Coach McCorkle, Captain ttHerb,i Spilman is the man most responsible for the good showing of the team. By the good example that he set, the men were inspired to do their best and to win. ttHerbielt is a leader of the highest type, a clean fighter, a man who can keep his men satisfied and working all of the time, and a man whom we all admire and respect. May we have more men like Captain ttHerbii Spilman. The Varsity line up was as f ollows: Coach McCorkle; G. L. Ashley, manager; W. Crenshaw, assistant manager; Wm. P. Maghetti, trainer. Captain ttHerbii Spilman, Fred Milhe, ttAndyi, Bernhouse, ttHerbil Fisher, ttHankii Jensen, Alex ttSlimii Kovacs, ttDickii Barlow, ttAli, Beilar, Charles Beilar, Forrest F iorini, Grant Smith, ttPeteii Bassford, and ttAltl Crebbin.

The third and last game found the Freshmen and Sophomores opposing each other. The Sophs were big favorites due to their previous win over the Seniors, but the F rosh paid no attention to previous dope and cleaned up on their ancient rivals 6 t0 0, Crebbin scoring the touchdown.
