Mclean May Weld
Racquet Against Penn

1t is likely at the present time that
the Georgetown University tennis team
will enter the University of Pennsyl-
vania matches tomorrow without the
services of Mclean, the crack racquet
wielder of the Hilltop troupe. Mclean
was prevented from accompanying the
team to Annapolis last Saturday be-
cause of serious illness in the family.
and 1t is doubtful IL his brothers condi-
tion has improved sufficiently to war
rant his leaving for the Quaker City.
If Mclean finds it possible to accom-
pany the Hilltoppers to the City OF
Brotherly Love, he will pair off with
Captain Brosseau in the doubles and
will probably oppose one of the Penn
sYlvania players, who is not as clever as
Thayer in the single matches. Mclean
will not be sent against Thayer. as il
is practically conceded That the u Of p.
star would outclass him, while it Is rea-
sonably certain that he will be able to
score victory over one Of the lesser
luminaries of the Philadelphia squad.
Manager McQuillen will most likely
take Wynard. OBoyle and Devlin on
the trip. along with Captain Brosseau
and Mclean, but in case of the latter's
failure to report Graham will in all
probability be taken along as utility
man.
