TENNIS CHAMPION
TRIBUTE TO E. D. ANDREWS The early departure o£ Mr. Andrews, the New Zealand tennis champion, for England, was referred to by Mr. G. N. Goldie at the meeting of the Council of the New Zealand Lawn Tennis! Association "on Tuesday. Mr. Goldio paid a tribute to the qualities o£ Mr. Andrews as a tennis player. "It will be the first tiihe a player holding a New Zealand men's championship has left tho Dominion to go to England," said Mr. Goldie. "In all probability Andrews will be eligible to play in .the Wimbledon championships and ether leading English championships next year. He is going Home to attend the Cambridge University, and will be, absent from the Dominion for somo months." Andrews, who hoped to play a good deal o£ tennis next year, was a promising young player and of the age to gather much infoi"mation. "I believe Andrews has the capabilities," concluded Mr. Goldie, and I think he will be a vastly improved player i£ he gets the necessary practice. He should be a credit to New Zealand in the matches he plays in at Home." It was decided, that the council's best wishes for a successful sojourn in England be conveyed to Mr. Andrews.
