The trials for the University tennis team will begin next Tuesday. Blue-books have been placed in Leavitt & Peirce's, and all entries must be in by next Monday night. Positively no entries will be accepted after that date. The lists will be posted Tuesday morning, and the schedule of matches will be published in the CRIMSON. No defaults or postponements will be allowed.

Captain R. N. Williams, 2d, '16 has devised a new system for conducting the trials this year. All candidates with the exception of a few picked men will be drawn up in regular tournament form. These picked men will then be seeded through the tournament so that they will not meet each other in the early rounds. By defeating one of these picked men a candidate may earn the right to play with them in a round robin series from which the final selections will be made. In order to take charge of these trials Captain Williams will not enter the series. The following men will constitute the University squad for the time being: G. C. Caner '17, J. S. Pfaffman '16, W. Rand '17, W. W. Mansfield '15, J. S. Brown, Jr., '17, J. Wooldredge '16, and C. C. Felton '16, all of whom have demonstrated their ability in tournaments and interclass matches. The second team will be formed from the men who fail to make the University squad.

The second team schedule is now being arranged and a captain will be appointed as soon as the University team trials are over.

Regular Spring Tournaments.

The regular spring tournament for the college singles and doubles championships will be held after the spring recess. In these tournaments only undergraduates will be allowed to compete.

The competition for the position of second assistant manager of the University team will begin next Monday at 5.30 o'clock when all candidates are to report at the H. A. A. Office. This will be the last opportunity for members of the class of 1917 to make an athletic managership. The appointment will be made about the time of the Yale match on May 29.

The trials for the Freshman tennis team will begin on Monday, April 5. H. G. M. Kelleher '18 has been appointed acting captain, and all entries should be sent to him at James Smith C31, by Friday, April 2. A squad of about seven men will be chosen by means of an elimination tourney. A schedule of matches has been arranged which includes Exeter, Andover, Dartmouth 1918, and Yale 1918.

Later in the season an interdormitory tournament open to all Freshmen except members of the 1918 squad will be held on the Soldiers Field courts under the supervision of the Freshman manager candidates. There will be no dormitory teams but each match won will count one point in favor of the dormitory represented. The winner and runner-up will be taken on the Freshman squad.

Freshman manager candidates will be called out Friday, April 2. This is the first year for a Freshman tennis manager competition.
