Ever since picayune Bill Johnston appeared on the scene in 1915, there has been at least one high-class tennist who looks as if nature had designed him for ping-pong. Currently, Bryan ("Bitsy") Grant, a 5 ft. -3 in. Atlantan, holds this distinction.

Another man who leads a double life due to Mitchell's propensity for unusual catchers is Paul deGive. Last Tuesday the Atlantan was pitching to the squad for nearly an hour; two days later he was catching Messrs, Lincoln, Allan, and Loughlin in the Third Battle of Bull Run, otherwise known as the Jayvees' 4-2 defeat of the Varsity at Bedford...
