Tennis Notes

s soon as the term examinations are over tennis will begin in earnest. We wish to remind all students that the Victoria College Tennis Club is a live institution and that they will be welcomed as members.

During the long vacation, next term's students are, with the approval of the Committee, allowed to join the Club on a written statement that they intend to take lectures.

Any members of the Club who will not be in Wellington during the summer months, and who wish to compete in the Easter Tournament at Dunedin, should give in their names to the Secretary before they go away. In view of the impetus likely to be given to this event by the Rhodes Scholarships every effort should be made to have Victoria College represented as worthily as possible.

In accordance with a suggestion made last Easter it is probable that a new scheme of scoring will be introduced for the University Tennis Championships. The Canterbury College Tennis Club has been considering the question for some time, and has devised a plan which seems to combine the advantage of giving Champions fair representation without —so to speak—disfranchising the rest of the team.
