turn from their summer outings, there
are reasons why the homecoming does |
not indicate any great activity. The |
most apparent reason appears in the |
unusually large number of families III |
mourning. Added to this Is the prob
ability that the most ardent social |
spirits will not return until toward the |
close of the month.
No events of any unusual import
have recently occurred, are now about
to occur or will occur in the imme-
diate future.
The Country club is in a quandry
as to what it will do with its tennis
championship cups. The singles en-
blem was won last year by Norman
Mcleod, since died, and the doubles
cup by John Brooks and Fred Z. Full
Ter. The conditions were that either
trophy had to be won three times, not
necessarily consecutively, to be held
permanently.
At present there is not much more
interest in tennis than there is in to-
bogganing. Interest in golf has in
creased and tennis is hardly thought
OF. For this reason it is believed that
while a tourney could of course be
given the lack of entries would make
ii uneventful. The matter was recent
ly referred TO the tennis committee,

j. Torrey for some recommendation as

Scranton is in Europe; Paul Beln is

any discussion of plans by the COM

know nothing about the matter.
