32 NEWMAN THE revived interest in tennis, which began with the completion <strong>of</strong> a grass court in 1936, was continued during 1937. A team was entered in the L.T.A.V. Pennant, and so keen was the competition for a place in the team that many combinations were tried out. This undoubtedly militated against success, but gave the committee an opportunity to discover talent which otherwise would have remained latent. Par- <strong>Newman</strong> The members <strong>of</strong> the team were : Godby, Gooden, Grano, and Sweeney, and their opponents were Dennis, Gellie, McLean, and Sleeman. In contrast to previous years, the day for the match was bright and clear, with little wind—ideal tennis weather. Gooden was matched against Dennis, and after a disastrous first set, rallied in the second to lead 5-2, by slowing the game up, and causing Dennis to overhit. Almost as the set was over, Dennis regained his accuracy, and took the set and the match. Sweeney played Gellie, but the latter's flat drive worried him, and he failed to take a set. The best match <strong>of</strong> the day was Godby against Sleeman. The latter won in straight sets, but the tennis was stylish, and there were many good rallies. The fourth singles match was between Grano and McLean, and produced some hard hitting, but it, too, went in Ormond's favour. The Old Boys' Cup. There were 17 entries for this handicap event, which shows that it still retains its popularity among students. The winner, K. Mortensen, thoroughly deserved his success, for, in his several matches, he accounted for every member <strong>of</strong> the Intercollegiate team. Mixed Doubles. The Mixed Doubles was again held in Tennis ticularly was an attempt made to improve the standard <strong>of</strong> doubles play, for it was realised that, in the Intercollegiate series, each member <strong>of</strong> the team plays two doubles matches and only one singles. Mr. J. Galbally and Mr. A. Kay were kind enough to play several matches against our combinations, and gave us the benefit <strong>of</strong> their knowledge. We deeply appreciate their generosity, and hope that they will be able to find time to help us again next year. v. Ormond. In the doubles we fared a little better. Grano and Godby were beaten in straight sets by Dennis and Sleeman, but took a set from McLean and Gellie. Gooden and Sweeney were down in straight sets to McLean and Gellie, but managed to take a set from Dennis and Sleeman. So Ormond won the match without losing a rubber.

Inclement weather caused a postponement soon after play began, and all matches had to be replayed. Competitors were not unduly inconvenienced, but the replay adversely affected the financial results <strong>of</strong> the tournament. The winners were Mr. F. Lynch (the only Old Boy competitor), and Miss K. Galbally, who were also successful last year. —F.L.
