First round matches scheduled in
tennis are 1 as follows: Myrven jCron

Intramurul athletics got off to a
booming start this week with twenty-
four entries in the npviee tennis sin-
gles and twenty-one entries in the
table tennis singles. Competition was
limited to those who had never com-
peted in these particular events be-
fore. Sid Nachlas, intramural all-
around map, stood out as the man to
beat in the upper bracket, with Willis
Stewart, Rally Club representative,
hot on his trail, play is to get under
way promptly, with first round
matches scheduled to be played before
Tuesday, October 15. After the field
has been chopped down to the select
round of eight, play will be speeded
up so that the winner will be announc-
edbefore October Si2.
Well Ha lanced Field
In the tennis tournament, a well-
balanced field promised tip-top com-
petition from start to finish, with
very little pre-tournament difference
in the contestants. First round play
in this event must be completed be-
fore Tuesday, October 15, or the 50
cents deposit forfeited. Balls may be
obtained at the field house for all
regularly scheduled matches.
No tournament was held in tennis
last year. Billy Wood topped the Ui-
blo tennis field, hind he and Tiny
Appling copped the doubles cham-

this tournament. An open tournament
