7m The balmy climate of San Antonio and the fitting courts on the college campus combine to make tennis an all-year-round sport for the players. It is among the eminently favored forms of exercise in the student com- munity, whether the poll be of the learned or unlearned in the technique. For the former there is always capable competition, for the latter com- petent instruction. There is scarcely a day throughout the year when the playing does not go on a the rare day When the weather itdoes not permit? The spring tournament is unfailingly an occasion for bringing to- gether the ablest performers and all those who love the game, to the number of the legion. In the final event of this years tournament, the splendidly spirited contest between Suzanne Ill and Daisy White was won by the former, and the award of the championship was thus decided. Notable among the other contestants were Alice Sawtelle, Bebe Burkett, Nellie Hasler, Elaine Coutret, Gerda Balluder, Jean Nash, and Carmen Balluder.

6W1 Basketball is increasing more rapidly in popular favor, among players and watchers alike, than any other American game. This fact may perplex those Who are reluctant to face it openly, but the fact is there. The lover of the game explains the circumstance by representing that there is no other sport which brings with it such rapid persistency 0f thrills and suspense. It may have been at a stage of its development, as described by a writer of news, Tia mildly exciting game to watch. It is still exciting, and more exciting, but no longer ttmildly so. It is inexhaustible in thrills, packed with suspense. In our college basketball is played in practice and scheduled contests between classes and sections. The playing as intra-mural adds to rather than detracts from the sustained general interest in the exhibitions. It is worthy to name, as among the players of the year, Patsy J acobs, Mildred Norton, Susan Ill, Daisy White, Maude Ellen Brite, Mary Margaret McCann, Gertrude Zuberbueler, Betty Lawrence, Virginia Anderson, Alice Sullivan, Beth Cotter, Jane Nelson, Emma Reitmeyer, Katherine Zuber- bueler, Maxine Brynston.
