and 1915 and easily ranked as the best
singles schoolboy player in Maine. He IS
expected to make a strong bid for the
college champion of the State, and with
his brother in doubles should prove wor-
thy contestants for the State doubles
championships.
Six men are working hard in practice
to make the other couple for the team.
They are Philip Lane Is, who started
his college course at Princeton; e. W..
