TENNIS

The Dartmouth tennis team has had its up and downs this season. It started out with three overwhelming victories. The victims were M. I. T., Vermont, and Massachusetts State, in the order named, and in these three matches not a single set was won by Dartmouth's opponents. There were six matches (four singles, and two doubles) played in each case, and all were won by the Dartmouth men in straight sets. Captain Nelson stands as the undefeated champion of the College, but there has been a great fight for the other positions on the team. Harmon and Webber have been alternating for second position on the team, the latter having the best of it for the most part. The fourth position has been a very hard-fought one, three juniors, Gannon, Hugus, and Nutt taking the position in turn. Hugus was the fortunate man who won his challenge match against Nutt on the day before the trip and was taken as fourth man.

It was on this trip that Dartmouth first ran against snags. Four matches were scheduled and of these one had to be cancelled on account of rain, two resulted in overwhelming defeats for Dartmouth, and the other resulted in a tie. Nelson was the only man who came through without defeat, winning against some excellent players, such as Mann of Yale. The scores of the three dual matches were as follows:

Yale 5—Dartmouth 1. Wesleyan 5—Dartmouth 1. Williams 3—Dartmouth 3.

On May 22, during Prom Week, a match is scheduled with the faculty at Hanover, and on June 1 there is to be a match against Amherst.
