The meeting was presided over by Assistant Coach George Little, who gave a brief talk concerning the status of tennis on the various cam- puses of the conference universities, and of the value'#of training for the] sport, saying that "to be a good man in any branch of athletics requires strict adherence to the ordinary rules of correct litring." He also pressed the increasing importance of tennis as a major sport, and traced the de- velopment of the game at Michigan since its inception here some years ago. .. John Rorich '24D, captain of this year's Varsity team, also spoke, and gave a short resume of the activities of the squad last year. Playing will start at once, and the concrete courts are already in con-- ditlon for the preliminaries, it Is hoped that all interested in trying out for the Varsity will preen themselves either to Coach Little or Rorick.
