ASKS COLLEGES TO
PLAY MORE TENNIS
Myrick Sends Letter to Ma
tiOnal A. A. for Greater
Stress on the Sport.

Indication Of the widespread interest
in tho future OF college athletics Is seen
in letter from Julian 8. Myrick. vice
president of the United States NatioRl
Lawn Tennis Association TO Prof. Frank
w. Nicholson OF Wesleyan. secretary OF
the National Collegiate Athletic Asso-
citation. Urging the Importance OF fos-
tering sports which get people "out OF
the bleachers and into the game" Mr..
Myrick calls attention TO the fact that
tennis is one Of the few sports that can
be learned early IN life and played for
many years. In suggesting that tennis
be given increased attention by the col
leges he wrote as follows:
in the press appears a notice 20 the
effect that the annual convention OF the
National Collegiate Athletic Association
will be held at the Hotel Aston on De-
cember %. From your announcement
Judge that this will be perhaps the
most important convention in the az.
sociations history. and for that reason
wish 10 submit a suggestion.
Last summer the tennis association
sent a letter to the presidents of all the
! colleges and universities in the country
requesting that they consider making
! tennis a major sport, Tie reason for
| this request lies in the belief OF the
! tennis association that II is one OF the
very few games which a person can
begin in youth and continue throughout
| his life. To one who Is SO familiar as
, yourself with the requirements of highly
specialized college athletes and the re-
I sultant limited participation therein
! there Is little need to elaborate this
! point.
/ The fact is that man can play
tennis without training and enjoy II just
/ as much when he is 10 Of 90 years old
~ he does when II. The full s!gnifi-
canse Of this statement was to be seen
/ last August at the time Of the national
/ championship when Vincent Richards
! the boys champion OF the United States,
who IL II years old. played in the open
singles, having previously been on the
team which won the national doubles
championship of the United .Staes. The
same week was inaugurated the Father
and Son and the Veteran championships
an view Of the unsettled conditions
! in athletics. my plea IS that the roor-
/ caniZ4tion should be on such lines ms
10 promote general competition and
limit the highly specialized kind OF ath-
letlcs. It may be that when your con-
vention Finishes It's work the old idea
of major sport will he eliminated
If I may do SO l would urge strongly
that such plans be developed as would
tend to stimulate sports that are usesu
