District title holder: Luise Kelley
league champion Helen Sinclair, run
ner-up in last sea sons tourney; Del
phine Heyl, District runner-up. and
Mary Hall. 1924 Vassar tennis cap
tain.
Miss Hall looms as a possible upset
to the hopes of the strongest contend
ers for laurelS. The only reason she
did not figure prominently in the
league event last Fall is because she
wasn't here. In 1928 she won her
way to the semi-finals in a most de-
cisive manner and was strongly
favored to win the tournament but
due to postponement of matches she
was forced to withdraw before the
last two brackets were played in or
der to return to college.
Miss Hall has a powerful forehand
and an uncanny way of hitting the
baseline in the most inconvenient cor
ners-from her opponents point of
view. Her service also has consider
able force behind it and Is fairly ac-
curate. Her greatest weakness is in
her backhand, but her court general
ship is such that she protects this
consistently. What she lacks in ver-
Satility she makes up in a steadiness
which marks her always as an op-
