...returns were very slow. Hovey and Chase won the set by a score of 6-4, and also the following one-score 6-0-thus winning the three sets. Hovey and Chase were in good form, and played a strong and unfaltering game. They seemed to play more with the idea of tiring out their opponents, although many of their returns were beautifully done. They did not seem to tire at all, where as Tallant and Lee showed the effect of the first set, and were visibly tired out in the last two. Their chief fault was a slow return...

The courts were in good condition and everything favorable to a good match except the sun in the upper court which necessitated a change of courts every two games.

...settle down to earnest effective work. Further it has only been because of the constant and untiring efforts of the captain that the men have been induced to come out. Some of them cannot see the necessity of appearing at practice every afternoon. They do not seem to realize their obligation to the class to come out regularly and work steadily. It is unjust to the rest of the men on the team for some men to come out one day and not the next, and it is hard on the captain to have them practice irregularly and almost indifferently...
