THE STUDENTS' CLUB

Abstract

Hockey + Hockey matches were played during the last term, 2 with the Police Recruit School, 1 with the Coimbatore College and 1 with the Stanes' High School. The last was drawn 2 goals each. other three were won 6-3,-5-3 & 2-nil. The Tennis Tournament-Having won the cup instituted by Mr. Wood in 3 consecutive years Mr. B. Dwaraknath presented a similar cup in a sportsman-like manner for an intercollegiate competition in foot ball in which he was equally interested. The committee at the college to whom he left the details of the tournament found it impracticable to run a foot ball competition, as there was already a competition for the foot ball shield open to the institutions of Coimbatore and Salem.The Committee's next attempt to get the other educational institu- tions in Coimbatore to join in a tennis tournament met with little response. The committee therefore recomended to Mr. Dwaraknath that the cup be instituted for competition in Tennis singles amongst the College students only. The donor having accepted, 13 students entered the tournament for the cup, now called "The R. Cecil Wood Cup".T. Budhavidheya Rao, class III met B. Virasami, class II in the finals and won the match by 2 sets to nil (6-0; 6-4) Mrs. Harrison, at the request of the captain, presented the cup to winner Budhavidheya Rao, and was thanked for her kindness in coming and presenting the 1 cup
