EDITORS DAILY CRIMSON:- I wish to explain briefly the condition of the Tennis Association. When the Association was formed, it was found necessary to borrow $1150 from the college in order to meet the expenses of making the courts. This loan is being steadily repaid by subscriptions and is now reduced to $400. Your correspondent of Tuesday was wrong in saying that the back-nets were paid for by subscription. Every cent which was subscribed last year was for the reduction of the debt. The receipts from the courts do little more than cover the expenses of keeping the courts in order and sending delegates to the intercollegiate tournament. During the last two years the setting out of back-nets, the placing a of hydrant on Jarvis, and the purchase of material for renewing worn-out courts, all necessitated extra expenditures and made it impossible to reduce the playing rates. It is very probable that such a reduction may be made next fall.
The plan of having tickets was tried a few years ago, and, on account of vario is difficulties, was generally acknowledged to be a failure.
