a hard surface the colleges may take the tournament away from the U S L T A and withdraw from the membership We ought to try to keep the few colleges we have in our membership and stimulate Interest among others” Westcott arid Adoue indorsed Ivy’s arguments and so did Stewart who went a step father “Crucify our sections if you will” said Stewart “but your purpose as a national association Is to develop tbs game nationally" his motion supported Myrlck which was carried later by an oral vote with a few dissenting voices by revealing that the new president Holcombe Ward had canvassed 60 colleges on the question 30 of which replied As far as grass versus hard courts was concerened 11 favored grass 15 clay and four expressed no preference but he said sentiment was expressed strongly In
