The University tennis team will play the Longwood Cricket Club, on Divinity Field, this afternoon, at 4 o'clock. The match should prove the best that has been played in Cambridge in many years. The University team, which, during the past season, has been defeated but once,--by the West Side Tennis Club,--faces an aggregation of a number of the best players in the country, including N. W. Niles '09, who was captain of his University team, and was also state champion for five years; G. P. Gardner '10, the present holder of the state championship; H. C. Johnson, who shares, with Mrs. Wightman, the National Mixed-Doubles Championship; and R. Seaver, who held the state championship for four years. The match should be as close, if not closer, than the meeting between the University team and the West Side Tennis Club, which wound up the team's southern trip with the only set-back during that successful week. The Longwood team will line up as follows; Singles--1. N. W. Niles '09; 2. G. P. Gardner '10; 3. H. C. Johnson; 4. J. D. E. Jones; 5. I. Wright; 6. R. Seaver. Doubles--1. Niles and Gardner; 2.
