Round Of Tournament
VICTOR J0NE8
Victor Jones, former Howard stu¬
dent, has been added to Howard’s fac¬
ulty as instructor in History. Jones
was an A student in college and left
school in his junior year to accept a
position as instructor in English In
Mexico. After spending a year in that
country, he returned to Howard this
fall, when he was added to the fac¬
ulty.
Curtis Williams, senior at Howard,
has been ape^nted director of the Bir¬
mingham West End Baptist Church
choir. Williams, during his stay at
Howard, has been prominent In this
type of work, being In the glee club,
director of the chapel choir, and lead¬
ing the singing at the college revival
held last spring. He well deserves
his appointment to choir directorship.
He will assume his new position im¬
mediately, and will have charge of
the Sunday musical program.
All favorites in the college tennis
tournament, survived the opening
rounds. Barton, Hendricks, Gay, Wil¬
liams, Moore, Andrews, Cosby and
Waldron, the seeded players, still re¬
mained In the running, through Sat¬
urday's play.
"Teedy” Waldron wae the fleet play¬
er to reach the third round, defeating
Bill DeLoach to advance.
John Barton had a tough time with
Robert "Squeechy" Hall, in his open¬
ing round. He finally -pulled the
match out of the fire, defeating him.
7-5, 7-9, 6-2. Hall Jqst kept knocking
the ball back.
Amasa Windham, and Bob Ansley,
had tought luck, dropping out in the
first rounds, but they seemed to en¬
joy the tennis, to the accompaniment
of Campbell Napier's “uke”.
Somebody left but the name of Prof.
Bailee in the entry list, and he was
not In the tournament. Prof. Bailee
is one of the most interested tennis
players on the campus and can always
he talked Into a match. He is respon¬
sible for the courts now on the cam¬
pus.
Harvey Moore had little trouble in
winning his opening match with James
Edwards 64),
-бЛ.
Moore was seeded
number four In the tournament and
will be watched with Interest, due to
his being a football player.
Walter Smith and
ВШ
DeLoach
seemed too lazy to play their first
round and matched for it DeLoach
won. That's one way of deciding a
tennis champion.
The single matches will continue
through this week, with the doubles
and girl's singles scheduled after
them.
