With 128 men entered from all departments of the University, the Class A Division of the annual University Tennis Tournament commences this afternoon on the Jarvis and Divinity courts. The number of entrants represents a substantial increase over the total that signed up last year when 107 opened play.
W. E. Arensberg '34, last year's cup winner has been seeded number one; seeded second is John H. Curtiss 5G, former Big Ten finalist while attending Northwestern. Frank W. Jones '35 and Franklin P. Whitbeck '35, two promising Juniors have been given numbers three and four respectively. Upon the results of the matches will depend to a great extent the selection by Coach Harry Cowles of a nucleus squad for indoor practice during the winter months and as a figurative basis of the varsity team.
In addition to Class A Division, the Class B and the Freshman Tournament, which has 156 men entered, will like wise get under way this afternoon. Within the next few days a Doubles Tournament, in which a large number of entrants have already indicated their desire to compete, will start play.
