The club sponsored a tournament in which men's singles and doubles, women's singles and doubles and mixed doubles were played. The men's singles tournament was especially important because it furnished the chief means of determining the likely candi- dates for the tennis team to represent Cedarville in the spring intercollegiate matches. Of the men's singles those that survived the opening rounds of play were: Guthrie, Kilpatrick, Swaim, Donaldson, Harriman, Corry, Wallace, and Waddle. Out of these, all were finally eliminated ex- cept Kilpatrick and Guthrie, who met in the finals match to decide the tennis championship of the school. These men were almost evenly matched and some fine tennis was the result; however Kilpatrick finally succumbed to the steady offense and the well-placed shots and returns of Mr. Guth- rie. The match ended with the score sheet showing this record of sets played: 7-5,7-5, 6-4. With Donaldson as his partner, Mr. Guthrie was also suc- cessful in the doubles tournament, defeating Kilpatrick and Harriman in a hard fought championship match. The tennis team which was ably captained by Kilpatrick, met with some stiff competition in the season's schedule in 1932-1933, winding up the season with a clean sweep over Wilmington on Cedar Day. Nevertheless, the team has lined up under the leadership of Harriman another difficult schedule for the spring, meeting Antioch, Bluffton, Otter- bein, Wittenberg, Wilberforce, and Wilmington. Mr. Guthrie, who has had broad tennis-playing experience in college and elsewhere, is serving as coach. 1
