After a week of tense tennis, the finals of New Brunswick's championship tournament were reached, at Fredericton. Out of one bracket emerged Mrs. H. R.

...sprang the second surprise of the competition when he came from behind to take a five game match from P.M. Lenhart '27 for a place in the finals. The winner is the last man on the University team while Lenhart ranks above him in fourth position. In the upper bracket R.S. Wright '26 and R.N. Rawlins '27 will clash some time next week for the right to meet Haskins for the University crown...
