six regulation courts. which are open to
members on Sunday and holiday morn
ings. as well as one afternoon and even
ing of the week. Arrangements are now
under way for individual and inter-com-
pany tournaments. and it is expected
that team will be picked shortly to

ton.

battalion, and when the game was over
they never let out a sound save cheer
