By all reports the tennis tournament between Trinity and Amherst proved a very interesting event, and promises to be continued in the future. Yale has now taken up the project and proposes to play Trinity, but the lateness of the season will probably prohibit any further negotiations this fall. Last spring we advocated the establishment of an intercollegiate tennis association, which should arrange matches between various colleges. Communications were sent to several colleges, but so many negative answers were received that it seemed that the time had not yet come, and the project was necessarily abandoned. We take this opportunity, when the enthusiasm of the game is still fresh, and when several months' space can be granted the tennis association to negotiate with the associations of other colleges, to advocate the project again. The sentiment here is, we think, strongly in favor of such a movement, and, by the statements of our exchanges, we are lead to believe there is an equal interest at Yale and Princeton and several other colleges. There seem few obstacles to the realization of this scheme, if it can be carried out officially and promptly. By taking immediate action, full arrangements will be made long before the approach of spring, and some definiteness of programme laid out. If only the other college associations come forward and express themselves favorably, as we have good reason to believe they will, we will be promised with some very exciting contests next spring in a sport which is as popular and widespread as any other in college.
