JULY 26. 1934 Here is How to - PlyNew Game of Lroop Tennis A inew~ gaine called "loop teninis" wvas rece,îtiy started at Vattinan park. The equipinent consists of a vertical pole witiî a swivel at the top. One end of a cord is attaclied to the swiv~el and the other toa bail, wiîiclî is suspended two inches above tue grouind. Two wire ioop goals are erected on opposite sides of the pole. Two dianiond siîapedl foui territories are laid out on the groui(l betw'eeni eacli goal and the pole. .The gaine cai be piaved %vith "a tennis racket or withi the hand. The object of -the gaine is to hit the bail thÉouglî eitlier goal and to avoid fouis. A point is scored for each goal. A poinît aiso is scored bv the opponent for eachi foui. The gaine is won by- the teain that first scores ten points, except wbenl the score is tied ine to nine (deuce). In this case omie teai wiiîs by scoring two successive points. In starting the gaine, the, server, holding the bail witlî the string ta ut, tries to hit the bail so that it does nlot touch either goal or pole un il it lias passed over -the receiver's Co t. After a serve. play continues unti a goal is inade or the bail becoînes <ead. due to the cord's wrapping arouuil a player's biaud or body. The -saine nieniber of a teai serves until five points are scored. When the bal enters and stays in a goal, a point is s-Cored for the teani that uit the bal Iast with the racket or hand. A player inay bit the cord but it is flot counted as hitting the bail. How Foui Ia Made A foui is made bv the server if the served bail touches either goal or pole before it passes over the op- ponent's court. A foui is mnade by' a player whose body, or racket touches either goal or pole or the foui territorv. A foui also is made by the player arouild iWhose 'body or racket thle cord wraps aîîd does not corne off with its owin ornentuin. Every one at the park likes the ganie very much, as it is speedy anîd excifi.ng. As rnany as six persons can play this gaine. Mr. Gathercoal saysit wont be lonîg until we have tournarnents in îoop tennis as well1 as horseshoes, territory anîd tennis.- Bigeiow Haley, Vattnîan park.
