ten COLLEGES RECOGNIZE
TENNIS AS A MAJOR SPORT
University Of Texas Is Last School To Adopt Court
Sport-University OF Colorado
On List

athletic authorities at Cambridge and
New Haven.
"Correspondence with the athletic
directors of the most important col
ieges in the country shows that much
attention is being devoted to tennis,
said Watson Washburn. chairman OF
the National associations tntercol-
legiate committee, in commenting up
on the results of the inquiry. we md
that the decision to recognize tennis
as major sport rests generally with
the undergraduate b~dy and 1t is
somewhat surprising to see that in the
middle west and far west where the
game Is much younger than at the
Atlantic seaboard 1t seems to have
gained a remarkably strong hold upon
the student body. In view of the fact
that ten universities have already
established II as a major sport il
seems reasona bio to believe that 1t is
only a question OF time before this is
true of most Of tho colleges In the
country.
Tho most significant fact brought
out in our correspondence is the large
number OF tennis courts either un-
der construction or planned to be
built at many colleges. Pennsylvania
State college for instance laid out
twenty courts last spring. Yale has
plans for about sixty to be built neai
the Bowl Ohio State university viii,
have between eighty and one hundred
courts at tn. new Ohio held Untvers
ity of Nebraska is putting fn thirty
new courts and hopes to have fifty
within 4 comparatively short time
The University OF Wisconsin is con
structinG twenty new courts this
spring. This provision for the growth
of the game shows the extent TO which
II is claiming attention OF the colleges
and indicates development for tn,

A Christmas Sermon.

To be honest, to be kind-to earn
little and spend a little less, to
make upon the whole, family hap
pier for his presence, to renounce
when that shall be necessary and not
be embittered, to keep a few friends
but those without capitulation-above
all, on the same grim condition, to
keep friends with himself-here is
a task for all that man has Of forti-
tude and delicacy. He has an ambi-
tious> soul who would ask more; he
has a hopeful spirit who should look
on such an enterprise to be success
full. There is indeed one element in
human destiny that not blindness it
self can controvert; whatever else
we are intended to do, we are not in
tended to succeed; failure is the fate
allotted. It is so in every art and
study. it is so above all the continent
art of living we'll. Here is a pleasant
thought for the years end or for the
end of life. Only self deception will
be satisfied, and there need be no
despair for the despairer.-Robert
Louis Stevenson.
