With the period of daily indoor practices coming to a close, members of the tentative University tennis team are rapidly developing into a point-winning outfit that promise to be a formidable threat in the matches with North Carolina and Yale. Led by Captain D. M. Frame '32, a squad of 14 men will probably remain in Cambridge over the recess to improve their strokes before the opening match with M. I. T. on April...
