Brunswick. April 6.-The Maine inter.
collegiate tennis meet will be held on
the grounds of the Portland Lawn
Tennis club June SO. On, the eve
ming of the fifth there will be an in :
formal meeting of the managers and
contestants at the Preble. By the new
rules of the association each team will
bear an equal portion of the expenses,
thereby taking off the burden from the
Maine State College players, who are
compelled by the distance to pay much
larger expense bill than that of the
others.
Maine State College will probably send
crac k men in both singles and doubles.
Haywood '96, is regarded as a danger
Gus man by the other colleges, and
Gibbs, '96, will probably share the honors
with him in both contests
Colby will send new men, one or two
being mentioned as especially good
players, but lacking in experience.
Bates will send Pettigrew, '95, one of
the best men in double last year, and
who is by far the finest player in college
at the present time. Wakefield, '95, is
an excellent player, but will be unable
to enter the tournament if base ball in
terferes. The '96 men. Boothby and Hill

Bowdoin will be represented by Dana
and Pickard, '94, in both singles and
doubles, and among the other proba BILE
players, Libby, Littleield, 'g4; G. Lord,
VS.. Kimb ball, 1915, and Dana, '96, are
mentioned. All of the men have been in
active training for three months, and
will do good work. The college tourna-

during the first week in May. Negotia-
tions are being made with Amherst and
Tufts for games near Boston during the
last week in May, and the best three out
of five sets will be a match. The league
games this year will probably be swifter
and better played than ever before. due
to great knowledge of the game and
with players from other colleges will be
of great benefit, especially in style of
playing.
Bowdoin's record in intercollegiate
tennis is one to be proud of. In the
tournament of '92, Pierce, 1913, who
won more prizes in tennis than any man
in college, carried ofsswith Pickard, '94,
the prize in doubles and again in 1913,
and second in singles. Dana, 1874, the
best player Bowdoin has ever had,
carried off the seconds in singles in '92
and first in 1913. Bowdoin has lost two
valuable men in Pierce and Payson, '93,
but her chances in tennis were never
better than they are now.

now are that in 1894 Maine will eclipse
any former year in turf records.
