JUNIOR TENNIS
FOSTERING COMPETITION The poor support given junior competition was a reflection on the facilities provided by clubs for young players according to a statement by a member of the competitions committee of the Canterbury Lawn Tennis Association. He said that most clubs prohibited junior piayers on Saturday afternoons, there was no play on Sundays and many juniors were unable to play in the evenings except in midsummer. Schools and other sports clubs catered well for young players, and unless some effort was made to foster interest the association would lose many promising players, the member said. It was agreed to extend the closing of entries for junior competitions and to make a special appeal ions and to make a .pecinl appeal to clubs for support in this section.
