OLD STYLE TENNIS
TOURNAMENT
TN VIEW
California Club Arranging for
Continuous Contest of
Racket Men
By Grant Smith

Another week end has been allowed
to slip by the local tennis players with
out any kind of a schedule sheet PLAY
on the courts Will again today be CON
fined to practice. Arrangements are
under way for continuous tournament
10 be started at the California club
next sunday These events always
prove interesting for a while at least
and the interest can be kept up until
the end. If the time limit IS not too
long. While plans have not been per
fected yet. IL is quite likely the coming
tournament will be held along the Old
lines in which the contestants are not
classified.
The continuous tournament held last
year was the most successful in re-
cent years. and the committee is tax
old style Last year the contestants
We're divided into classes and prizes
were awarded in each class. This year
the contestants will draw for positions
and a prize will be awarded 10 the
player longest in the number one posi-
tiOn and the one advancing the most
numbers
The lower class men would take
more interest in a class affair in which
their chances of Winnings prize would
be much better. II pgor pfaSa - draws
at the bottom he Will stay there or
thereabouts. and If he draws at the top
he will go to the bottom quickly. If.
on the other hand, one Of the cham
piOnshtp class players should draw
near the bottom he would be sure of
the prize for the most advancement. As
the crack players are greatly Outnum-
bered by the "dubs. the committee
would do well to decide in favor of q
continuous tournament along class
lines.
At last a dehniSe date has been given
out for the Alameda county champion
ship tournament and a revival of that
event is an assured fact. The Berkeley
tennis club has undertaken TO handle
the event and put up the challenge
cups. So as not TO conflict with the an
nual Ojai valley tournament, the Ala
media county meet is scheduled for
April Il and "a.
The Golden Gate tennis club had "a
handicap doubles tournament set for
the first Sunday in April. but has
changed the date to the second Sunday
so as not to conflict with the DIAL tour
nament, In which several OF the best
players in the city will participate.
The approach OF the annual intercOl-
legiate tennis meet has caused the local
and college town enthusiasts to specu-
late as TO the probable outcome. which
seems about as settled as il was last
year. AS long as the Long brothers
Herbert and NIelviIle-represent Cali
fornia the chances of Stanford viii
look anything but good. IL has been
rumored that Maurice Mclaughlin and
Carl Gardner viii coach the Stanford
team, but even with the assistance OF
these crack players a blue and gold
victory looks like a certainty.
