FEW ENTRIES FOR
TENNISCONTIETS
Entrance Period Extended Until Sat-
urday; Plan to ise
Prizes
PROF. LEE MAY DIRECT GAMES
Thne first days emtries in the tennis
tournament numbeed 12 and as a re-
sult entrances for the summer tourna-
ment will be accepted at The Wol-
verine offices until Saturday. If a
sufficient number are signed up by
that time a scehudle will be arranged
and prizes announced .
Just what the prizes to be offered
will be is still a matter of conjecture,
much depending upon the number of
men that enter the contest. Plans are
being made to give out medals to the
individual stars, and prizes, such as a
dozen or so tennis balls to the win-
ners of the doubles and singles, and
smaller prizes for the runners-up. No
definite arrangements can be announc-
ed, however, until the situation is
cleared up.
In all probability, Professor Alfred
o. Lee, of the engineering department,
will take charge of the tournament,
coach the men and referee the games.
Professor Lee has taken charge during
recent years, and if a good schedule
can be made, it is thought his service
can again be secured.
Inasmuch as there is still over a
month of summer school, there is
every possibility that en extensive
schedule can be played. Those inter-
ested are urged to notify the editor of
The Wolverine, by mail or phone be-
fore Saturday.

Looks as Though They Will Have
Strong Line-Ups
The "khaki nines" of the Ordnance
and Quartermaster's classes in Profes-
sor Bursley's Army Stores Methods
courses have postponed their initial
baseball opening until Saturday after-
noon, July 28.
Both departments are practicing
daily for the coming event, and the
captains of the teams report that there
is a lot of material to choose strong
lire-ups.
The probable batteries for the
Quartermaster's will be Robert Collins
and James O'Harah. Captain Dwyer
states he has a number of pitchers on
hand, and that the possible batteries
cannot be selected until the men have
had a few more work-outs.
