Friday H o p e sports e n t h u s i a s t s should b e e n c o u r a g e d in their q u e s t for t h e all-MIAA sports t r o p h y . If t h e team is a b l e t o d e f e a t K a l a m a z o o in their match t o d a y , it will s h o w that H o p e will probably take t h a t coveted trophy. The one important thing that is making t h e going especially rough for t h e t e n n i s m e n is t h e lack o f e q u i p m e n t . T h e y feel if t h e y c o u l d have the advantages which the tennis representatives of o t h e r MIAA s c h o o l s s u c h as A l b i o n and K a l a m a z o o are e n j o y i n g , t h e y c o u l d certainly take a s e c o n d place, probably a first, in that sport t h i s spring.

The advantages w h i c h are referred t o here are: 1. Having t h e s c h o o l furnish at least o n e restring job for each of t h e regular players, and, 2. Having the s c h o o l furnish a s u f f i c i e n t n u m b e r of balls so t h a t players will n o t feel embarassed w h e n their o p p o n e n t s ask for new balls f o l l o w i n g a b o u t 15 g a m e s of play w i t h t h e old o n e s .

When t h e s e f e w things are c o n s i d e r e d in t h e light of t h e i m p o r t a n c e w h i c h t h e tennis t e a m m e a n s t o the C o l l e g e w e f e e l that t h e y s h o u l d be granted. A l t h o u g h t h e team gives t h e College no financial return, it d o e s c o n t r i b u t e t o t h e p u b l i c i t y of t h e College and this f a c t o r will be e s p e c i a l l y true this spring in v i e w of w h a t has b e e n said c o n c e r n i n g t h e all-sports t r o p h y .

A sinister plan Dear Editor.

Why the sudden s w i t c h ? T o lind o u t , I w e n t to the plush o f f i c e of H o p e ' s d y n a m i c athletic director. G o l d e n Brew.
