Team A defeated three strong New York City club teams on Saturday and Sunday at New York. The Crimson players made a clean sweep against the Racquet and Tennis Club on Saturday, winning 5-0. G. D. Debevoise '26, playing at number two, met stiff opposition from Munroe in the first four games of his match but the club player weakened toward the end and Debevoise easily won the fifth game...

The Frohman production was surprisingly uneven for such an astute organization. They supplied actors and scenery instead of blending them...
