Today the intercollegiate tennis tournament begins at New Haven. Harvard sends her best representatives, but they will have to work hard to keep up the splendid record made last year. In the doubles our men will have to work especially hard, for they will have as their opponents the pair that won the national tennis tournament at Staten Island this fall. If our team succeeds in winning the laurel from them, they will, indeed, have done something to be proud of.

The batting in particular has greatly improved, while the fielding is steadier and more accurate. The game with Yale next Saturday will be the most important, if not the decisive game of the year. We must win it if we hope...
