The twenty-fourth annual Harvard interscholastic tennis tournament will begin, at Jarvis Field this morning at 9 o'clock, and will be continued in the afternoon at 2.30. All contestants must report to Manager R. E. Allen '15 at the Field promptly at both times, or be defaulted.
First and Runner-up prizes will be given; also a championship shield to the school which wins the greatest number of points, each match won counting as one point. The winner of the tournament will have the right, as Harvard Interscholastic Champion for 1914, to play at Newport in August for the National Interscholastic Championship of the United States.
Last year, the team championship went to Exeter although the individual title was won by G. C. Caner '17, of St. Mark's. Exeter is sure to send down a strong team again and should be well up in the scoring.
