Icon of person Horace Rice

Horace Rice (5 September 1872 – 18 January 1950) was an Australian tennis player. The left-handed Rice, who played in knickerbockers and long black socks, won the Men's Singles title at the 1907 Australasian Championships, beating Harry Parker in the final. Parker, with his "ever varying placing strokes kept his opponent flying about from side to side of the court and from the net to base line. This, however, had little effect upon Rice, whose staying powers were remarkable, and whose returns almost always were sure and accurate". Read more on Wikipedia
