...November number of Outing contains several interesting articles on out door life and sport. College men will take particular interest in "The Progress of Athletism," by C.

The mere winning of a prize is not the primary object for which the tournament was originated, but rather that all who enjoyed tennis might go in, try their luck, and have some sport.
