1t is understood that the mems ti-

In the past, this event has been de-

SCHOOL BOYS
BOOM TENNIS
Central, Technical and
Western Have Veteran
Players for Teams.

Tennis in the high schools is sure
to boom, now that the weather Is be-
ginning to permit. Tennis will un-
doubtedly get an early start for as
yet the weather has been decidedly
favorable and preparations for the
coming tennis season are now in pro-
gress as to calling out candidates and
arranging games with outside teams.
Central High in previous years has
displayed excellent tennis ability and
with a goodiy number of veterans on
the squad they should not come far
from winning the championship this
year. Shorty Price. captain OF the
teams this year who won the inter-
scholastic singles championship has
been out of school for a good while
and little tennis in the school has
been promoted. With his return the
tennis question that seems to pene-
trate every student who is familiar
with the game. will get an early start.
Besides nearly all the veterans from
last year are back, and new ones
now attending the school who are
fully proficient in this sport.
The material that is now attend
ing Central is the best that could
be wanted and the school looks as if
another championship is awaiting
them. Central has in Conklin. Price,
Knopp, O'Brien. Childress, Fowler.
Beale, Hopkins, Philips, Dodge and
Smith some expert ability on the
court.
Mechanical High is not slow on
this question. For they have it on
Central in getting an early start
They have already called candidates
and over fifty responded to the call.
Coach Apple. of the Manual Train
ers, stated that he expected to give
Central High one of the hardest
rubs in this game than ever before.
In former years at Tech very little
has been thought of tennis. But
recently with Apple at the post
there has been aroused in the school
what we might call a school tennis
spirit. The prominent candidates
are. Keleher. Perry. Knapp. Mooney,
Smith, Shanks and King. These
boys are veteran tennis players and
know the ms and outs of the game.
Western High you might say is a
ranking scholastic tennis team. West
ern was the only team last year that
gave the Blue and White any compet.-
ton at all. They fought hard and
nearly all the old material is back
with them Coach Morse takes con-
siderable interest in tennis. He de-
votes just as much of his time to
tennis as any other branch of sport
Last year he developed a wonderful
team out of raw material. With Frank
Taylor. their leading man last year,
and Everett Burke they will prob
ably show up well in the scholastic
series this season.
Eastern High and Business have not
put forth as good a team as is pos
sbble for them to do so. The school
does not realize that tennis should be
authorized just as much as any other
sport. 1t is a minor consideration
with the stenographers. The same
holds good with Eastern High.
