HOUR GLASS TENNIS.

HOW OUR GRANDPARENTS

PLAYED.

Great changes have occurred in the new worldwide sport of tennis during the last 50 years. Racket, court and ball have radically alter- ed and the standard of play, of course, has become almost unrecog- nisably fast, compared with the gentle pat ball of the "eighties."

Lawn tennis at that period was played on a court shaped like an "hour-glass "the back lines gradually sloped inwarda so that the court was narrower at the net than the two serving lines. The lines were marked with sawdust on grass by pouring the sawdust be. tween two slipa of wood six to eight feet long nailed about one' inch apart. The net at the poles was much higher than at the pre- sent day, and il dipped towards the centre where it would be about four feet four inches high. At the poles it was fastened top and bot- tom.

.

The teams were: University:-P. L Tan, K. I.. Ip, S. T. Cheung, S. F. Chan, M... C. Loh, F. F. Li, and S. H. Worig.
