...University tennis team has lost through graduation five of the eight men who last year won their letter. The graduation of R. N. Williams, 2d, '16, national and ex-intercollegiate champion, and of G. C. Caner '17, who won the Intercollegiates in Pittsburg last September, has left two particularly big gaps to be filled. But last year's Freshman team is sending some good material up to the University squad that, with practice, should produce some first-class performers. J. S.

Mahan '16, one of the best pitchers in collegiate baseball last year, will be greatly felt, Coach Duffy has two letter men in W. G. Garritt, Jr., '17 and C. L. Harrison '18 around whom he should be able to build a strong pitching staff. Harrison was especially effective last year, winning from Yale in the game at Cambridge, allowing the Yale batters but four hits and will probably head...
