TENNIS, 1966

At the start of the season four of last year's team, Baxter (Captain), Pawson, Pickersgill and Peacock were left and the remaining two places were filled by Wood, J. R. and Bennett. To give other boys match experience the policy was not to play the same VI in every match but to rest one or two of the first VI in most matches and replace by members of the second VI, for which it was only posible to organise two fixtures. In addition to Baxter, who had played full-time tennis last year, three other boys, Pawson, Peacock and Wood, J. R., also made tennis their major Summer Term activity. It was not found possible to organise any Under XVI or XV fixtures this term but there are several promising and keen juniors.
