FOR MORE TENNIS COURTS AT

Betides the team which *e intend to

DO use some of the faculty courts, but
Am* : is no undemanding that this
prurilfge will not be withdrativn. *
- At the Sam Houaton Normal, as
we|l as at many other' schools and
coBefgas, courts are provided on the
grounds for the use of all. We be*
Itate that the institution and not the
sttadtats thereof bear the expense of
keeping the courts in good condition.
We suggest that steps he taken,
* either by the students hereof by the
college authorities, to provide ten or
tw*lv4 good courts aear the barracks
for general use. Such action would
give the cadets much healthful and
yffiaapt txerciae. and we believe it
would do more to encoumge general
athletics |than anything else that
could he done.
