Secretary Swan

IF you are looking for the first signs of spring, watch for the appearance of beads of perspiration on the brow, of L. W. Swan, of Auckland, as he follows hard on the last 'blow of the referee's whistle when it sounds the death knell of winter sports, with his call to Auckland tennis enthusiasts to decorate the pavilions with their club colors and take the court for- another season. L.W.S. is the poSver behind the tennis throne m the northern district, and from the secretary's chair he keeps a watchful eye on events on behalf of the Auckland Lawn Tennis Association. The advent of spring means business as usual with the association, and tennis troubles are poured into the receptive ear of the secretary; but it is all m a day's work,, and even the visit of Britain's brightest and best to meet the: New Zealand team m the' tennis test did not trouble him. It was an ' achievement to be proud of, and proved beyond doubt that m giving its secretary full powers, the association's tfrust is not misplaced.
