In addition to the above, Willard, Luce and Guerin will probably...
...courts are in use and the men who do go out play in such a halfspirited way that it is plain that they are forcing the tennis season at the expense of their own comfort. Sweaters are the order of the day rather than jerseys. The courts on Jarvis Field are not occupied, and only those around Holmes show any life. The turf courts will not be ready for some weeks, nor will those at Beck be ready at present...
