"RACKET” OR “RACQUET?”

TENNIS PLAYERS RECEIVE AN OFFICIAL VERDICT

INTERESTING CONTROVERSY FINALLY SETTLED

The correct way to spell the name of the implement used in the game of lawn tennis is "racket." That statement is incon- trovertible. Yet the extent of the mispelling is deplorable. It is enough to make the judicious grieve. The transgressors are wilful, preverse--and just plain ignorant. Yet they continue to write "racquet" sa if they consider that anything eroanating from their pens is sacrosanct.
