INTERCOLLEGIATE NET TOURNEY BEGINS JUNE 28

PERSONNEL OF UNIVERSITY TEAM IS UNDETERMINED

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

The forty-first annual tournament for the Intercollegiate Lawn Tennis Championship of the United States will begin on June 28, on the grass courts of the Merion Cricket Club, Haverlord, Pa. The tournament will be conducted by the Intercollegiate Lawn Tennis Association and the Merion Cricket Club, under the auspices of the United States Lawn Tennis Association.

Last season, 29, colleges were represented by 70 entrants in the singles championships, while 29 teams competed in the doubles matches. E. G. Chandler of the University of California, won the singles, and Gervais Hillis and Gerald Stratford, also of the University of California, took the doubles victory.

Four Singles Players Allowed

Participation in the tournament is limited to members of the Intercollegiate Lawn Tennis Association. Each member may enter a team of not more than four singles players and two doubles teams.

Accommodations will be provided for contestants at the 'Merion Cricket Club during the tournament.

The men who will represent the University have not yet been announced, but the strength of the team this season ensures a determined bid for victory in the Intercollegiates. The breaking-up of the Perkins-Pratt doubles combination through Perkins' absence will be appreciably felt, but Pratt will probably thus be released for singles service.

The scoring will be as follows: One point for the University or College whose representative wins the singles, one joint likewise for the doubles, and one-half point for the runner-up in the singles. Prizes will be awarded to the winners, and the winning college will be awarded a "win" on the International Trophy.
