Not So Fresh
Not So Fresh
Saturday afternoon brought Freshers in contact with V.U.C. leading tennis players when the Annual Yankee Tournament was held. The day was fine with a favourable wind for those who could make advantage of it. There were fifty-six players who participated and these were judged by a large number of onlookers. The Tournament was organised by K. McNaught and credit is due to him for its outstanding success, especially for the work done in arranging for the Freshers and those who were rather shy in coming forward for a game to have at least two games.
The outstanding players amongst the Freshers were Loris Webley, Joy Hal-len, W. Smiler, C. Atmors, B. Lewis. F. Coates, J. Davis and G. G. Mexted.
The tennis on the whole was of a high standard as was seen in the excitement of the final game between Joy Hallen and G. G. Mexted. who won by 32-17 from F. Coates and J. Davis.
The Tennis Club Committee hopes when the Club opens again next season that the same enthusiasm will be shown as was seen on Saturday afternoon and not only at Tournaments but also on every possible Saturday.
