Class A and B high schools compete in two divisions with the tee off ! scheduled for Saturday morn- j ing on the Timpanogos course. Tennis also attracts a large j number of participants to the ; new courts' at BYU. Junior high school competition is scheduled for Thursday, high school and junior college on Friday and Saturday. |
