The net season for 1923 was closed when
Manager Pruett took his men to Georgetown
for the T. I. A. A. meet. In this final clash
the Teachers' College was represented in
doubles by Hargraves and McCombs, alto-
gether a new line-up from that of the former
games, and in singles by Myracle, a fleet-
footed netsman, that had come to the front
in handling the weave through brilliant work
in the try-out.
In this meet the doubles were staged
first for the Eagles. It fell to the Teachers'
lot toplay their old-time rivals in football
and baseball, the Trinity Tigers, first. It was
a sweet revenge the Teachers got from the
Tigers this game. The Eagles won all three
sets by a wide margin. The doubles for the
MYRACL Teachers next drew a closer rival, the Austin
College Kangaroos, who proved to be much
better net men than any the Eagles had played during the year. After
several ties in points, Austin College managed to take all three sets.
In the single preliminaries, it was again
the Eagle against Tiger. This time, Myra-
cle, defending the Green and White, won a
decided victory over the Trinity player. Myra-
cle's back stroke in this game made him stand
out as a prominent man of the meet. The
next draw threw the Teachers' singles man
out of his class, as he was put against Coleman
of Rice Institute, who took the singles cham-
pionship.
Six letters were given this year in tennis.
This was the first year that letters have been
awarded in this line of athletics, but it is
hoped that the coming years will bring forth
some outstanding events in this sport.One hundred fifty-five
