To the Editor of the Crimson:
Finally imbued with the spirit of Mr. Bingham's "win the war with muscles" program the other day, 1 picked up my racquet and strolled over to Jarvis Field for a few sets of tennis. At the end of exactly one hour of play the attendant told us to shell out a quarter or return whence we had come. This ultimatum was delivered despite the fact that there were at least six other courts open, and no one was waiting for ours. What is the reason for this procedure? Can it be that Harvard University puts the small amount of wear and tear on the courts ahead of the physical well-being of the students? Has someone set up an iron-clad rule which must be followed when the courts are relatively deserted as well as when they are crowded? In any case it does not seem to me that the H. A.
