Th* object of the Association will include the establishment of * strong tennis club which will be able to com pete wui-e*sfully against State Uni versity, Rice, Baylor and other Texas colleges and universities. One of the first step* to be taken will be the building of other tennis courts. A committee has been appointed which will arrange for the picture of the Club in th* Longhorn. President Bixxell, Mr. Young, Mr. Driver, Mr. Bible, and the Athletic Council and T-Club as well as many members of the faculty have assured the Club that they would give their active support. Inasmuch as avery- one Con<v ted with A. and M. is eligible for membership it is expected that in terest in the Association will increase throughout the year. Mr. Kraft, hsad of the Building and Grounds committee has already star ted plan* for the new courts, and it is expected that they will be finished ‘in time to accommodate a .large num- hcart and soul ate wrapped areti our lives.
