Hour for First Sci The first set, proved to be one of the fastest of the tourney in which both Jennings and Lott proved their mettle with a display of uncrring‘ and unccasing drives which forced the set to exactly an hour’s play. The play of Jennings in this match was brilliant in every line of the game. The hardness with which he hit the hall was almost unbelievable, while his not play made the flashy Lott fight hard for his points. Jennings’ serve was almost invincible as prov— en by the fact that he lost only 4 services during the entire week’s play. “Winn Double-e Title: Although dropping the singles fin- als Jennings, and Braundt. the Uni— versity of Illinois star, came through to win the city indoor doubles title.

Herctoforc this duty was held to belong to the fat» ulty advisory board, which consists also of thee members. Because of the fact that the latter had become more or less of a board of censorship instead of an actual advisory board, it was felt by the men that faculty membership on the managing board had. become imperative.
