Strong Doubles Team
Wallace Johnson and Carl have de-

bord mck for the teams that they hap
nened 70 draw, The Edwards brothers
and one or two other teams may give
Carl and Wallace a battle. but from
Tho looks of things they should win the
doubles with a good margin to spare.
Yesterday the University of Cali
fornia players were not among those
present when Official Referee Al Hos
kins looked the field over to pair off his
athletes. Not only that. but he had re >
ceived no word from them that they
we're not coming. Their entries were
in and II was presumed that as they
had been here for several DAYS they
would be ready. According to tourna
hent regulations, all of these PLAYERS
Should have been defaulted. Their op-
ponents waited around all afternoon for
them and finally had to leave without
having played at all. Late in the after
noon Mr. Hoskins' by me mcrest
chance, heard that the Caitornians
would be ready to play at noon today.
