Tennis Club

Tennis Club

Saturday, the 6th, saw a group of 60 enthusiastic tennis players at the Tennis Welcome, which took the form of a Yankee Tournament. Throughout the afternoon a high standard of play was maintained despite the fact that a disturbing wind played havoc with many shots. About 5.30 a closely contested final between Goodwin and Miss Peebles v. Berge and Miss N. Turner saw the latter pair victorious by a narrow margin.

On Sunday the weather finally decided to be fine and an enjoyable match consisting of twelve doubles was played between Training College and Varsity. Each team consisted of four men and four women. The players were well matched and games were interesting and well fought. Varsity won by 7 matches to 5. We hope that we will be able to arrange another match with Training College some time.

Freshers—remember you are welcome to play on thecourts any time you wish. There is no special procedure required to join the club. Just come along and play whenever you feel like it. But remember it is necessary to bring your own tennis balls.

The annual general meeting of the above club will be held on Thursday, 18th March, at 8 p.m., in room A3. All intending players should be present. A feature of the very successful club's organization are the "mixed" practices, which, boldly advertised on the notice board, perhaps accounts for the encouraging number of prospective players on the accompanying list.
