tennis team for the year but has an
nounced that all members are subject
10 challenRe FOR place and must ac-
cept and play at least one challenge a
week. This applies to both singles and
doubles. The team as it stands at the
present time Is as follows: Singles-Al-
Lincoln. Ezra Gould, Harry Burton and
Louis A. Fischer. Doubles-Gore and
Lincoln. Howard and Fischer, and Pear
man and Burton. This team met Chevy
Chase last week and was beaten seven
out OF nine matches. The play in the
doubles as result of last weeks
ma tches will possibly cause the officials
to pair up its players a little differently
next Saturday when these two teams
meet in return match az Dunn ba rton.
Instead of Gore and Lincoln playing
together. it has been suggested that
the former be paired with ZAP Howard,
while Lincoln and Lou" Fischer will
make up another team. it is believed
| that these two combinations will be
much stronger than having Gore and
lincoln and Howard and Fischer play
as teams Nos. ] and >, they have
done in the past.
