To the Editor of the CRIMSON:

The annual fall tennis tournament reveals two fact; that tennis is infinitely more popular than any other sport among the men in the University; and that the facilities here are not adequate. This last fact is sadly true of many sports here; but since it cannot be remedied for all at once, the first effort should be applied where it will serve the widest advantage, namely to tennis. Again, this should be easier than with the other sports, because the needed equipment is more easily available. Much unused space is Soldiers Field (if no more convenient place can be found) should be utilized for tennis courts, which could be constructed at an expense entirely moderate in comparison to their value.

Tennis has proved itself, by the enrollment in the Freshman Compulsory raining sections as well as by the entries for the fall tournament, to be the popular choice of the University. Football is and we hope always will be, the great college sport; but for pure recreation in its full sense, tennis stands unchallenged. It is a game in which all are players and none spectators; it is not limited to men of super-physique; it has competitive interest; and it provides a means for healthful exercise to a large number of men who have neither time nor inclination for other sports.
