Dear "Phog":

It has come to my attention from various
students that the wire netting backstops at the new con-
crete courts is so badly gone to pieces that the students
are chasing lost balls and running around hunting them a
good deal of the time. We have spent so much money on
these courts that I want to see that they are in the very
best condition possible. Can you see that the proper
pbackstops are placed in position on these courts?

There is, also, a good deal of unhappiness
about the condition and maintenance of the other tennis
courts of the University. They need more attention, both
on the surface of the courts and on the general maintenance,
marking, and care of backstops than has been given. I
would appreciate it very much if you would do what you can,
because with this big enrollment I am eager to have every
recreational facility utilized and in the best possible
working order,

Thanks, ever so much.

Sincerely yours,

 

Deane W. Malott
Chancellor
