Sophomores Charlie Ufford and Art French make up the first doubles, while Captain Bob Bramhall and Bill Goodman, a junior, will play in the second position.

When disposal facilities are owned by the city, any company can muster enough money to invest in necessary equipment, and can therefore afford to bid.
