Voi.. III. THE RED University of Georgia, Athens, Ga., April 25, 1896. No. TENNIS. THE TOURNAMENT OF THIS WEEK ABA ^ONED FOR LACK OF EN- TRIlS.-SOMETHING ABOUT THE MAY TOURNEY. If.there be one question that has been asked of the tennis manager often enough to run any one crazy, it is : When are you going to have a tournament} 1 If there be a man in college who has ever seen a ten nis racket and has not made that 'iiquiry, let him know that he is, most decidedly, what most of our younj/ men strive to be considered— eccentric. , Partly to arouse intt re t in the sport, but principally—it must be confessed—to save his ears from being worn out, when they are yet so young and tender, by that in iquitous inquiry, the manager post ed notices to the effect tint a tour nament would be held on the cam pus on Friday, Saturday and Mon day afternoons. lie then went in haste and pur chased several pads and a dozen pencils, in order that be might be able to write down the long iist of entries, imagine his surprise—nay, his consternation—when the time for the iist of entries to be closed came, and but six moil had signified their intention of playing. These were the only days a tour ramunt could he had without con- Hiding with base ball games. There will lie no preliminary tournament now. Tin; regular tourney will proba bly begin on the nineteenth of May. .Mr. Patterson has offered h cup for the winner of the singles. The winner this year will hold the cup until next year, when he will have to defend it against next year's champion. If any one will it two successive years, tile cup becomes his property. Other prizes will, if possible, be got for the winners of the doubles, and for the second best players. Men, who think that they have no chance at all for the championship, seemed not disposed to enter at all. Kvery one should go in, in order to get his relative stand ; tin; experi ence would also be beneficial to him. , In the manner of drawing that will be puisued, a man who is nut so good a player may play longer in the tourney than one who is quite an exp. rt. Ali of the names are placed in a hat and are drawn out two at a time. Those drawn out together play against each other. In the doubles, partner* are consid- ere I as one man. Men should choose their partners for the doubles at once and get to work, as team work j is very important. When a man is onee beaten, he drops out of the tournament. The following model shows how a tourney with eight n*s- trees would work out: Al 1M VI I»i K I ° I II I A V. V II > J 1 1 Champion. COMMENCEMENT ORATORS THE CONTESTS FOR PLACES VERY CLOSE.

The most enjoyable event of the Week, iu Athens society, was the : “Progressive Conversation Party” given last evening by .Miss Nanette Hodgson to the Voting People's German Club and a few selected friends. Miss Hodgson is a charm-1 ingly graceful hostess and as there is no better place to entertain a crowd than on the pruily lawn in front of her home, and as the night was an ide al one, it is neediest to say that everyone enjoyed them selves.
