The Tennis Courts.

A season's play on our three tennis courts has proved conclusively that a forth court is absolutely necessary. It was waits, and any practice this season without long waits, and good practice was out of the question. Consequently most of the first team had to get practice elsewhere. Those that did not, suffered. If the junior players are to improve they must have practice with their seniors, and more accommodation must be provided. How?

The three courts cost £274. Of this College Council provided £100 for leveling and £75 towards cost of asphalting and the students' Association voted £50. £50 was raised in debentures from friends of the Club. The Club has a credit balance of £15 and the Construction Committee has a balance of £9 1s 10d. The Tennis Committee have therefore to face a debit balance of about £25 18s 2d. This is not a serious matter, and with reasonable economy should be wiped out from revenue in two or three years. Notwithstanding its importunity, the Committee will almost certainly laying the asphalt and topdressing the new court. But the rough-hewing, the rock-shifting, can be done by the students. Let those who want the new court take off their coats, and there will be no need for their eloquence at general meetings. Working-bees will be organized as soon as the winter are over, and there is no reason why the new Court should not be in use by Christmas-time.
