...they belong to a private club. The fact that they belong to a club automatically limits the membership and prevents a large number of men from indoor practice, who would, if the University had these facilities, have a better chance to make the Southern Trip tennis team. This lack lays tennis open to the accusation of being undemocratic. As a matter of fact the best 12 to 15 men are chosen and these are usually made members of the club.
