...general college tennis and squash lettermen readily adapt themselves to the celloloid spheroid and paddle. An exception to the rule is found in the case of James J. Fuld '37, captain-elect of this year's tennis team.

The lack of system in previous years was without doubt a contributory factor in the demand for stricter regulations. A plan that would be convenient and at the same time effective, like the Oxford card system, would meet with general approval. It is clear that some change is called for, and in formulating the new plan President Conant and the Masters would do well to take into their confidence a delegation from the student body which has every desire to smooth...
