TENNIS

In tennis Dartmouth has on the whole done very well, with Captain Nelson always the particular bright and shining star. Nelson wound up his share of the season in glorious style by defeating Johnson of Amherst, the winner of the Longwood Intercollegiates. Nelson has been defeated by him once before in a very close match in these intercollegiates, and it was a great pleasure to Dartmouth supporters to see him come back with a revenge. Webber, who salted the second position on the team, deserves great credit. On May 22 the varsity played the faculty, and the match resulted in a tie. The faculty had a good excuse ready in lack of practice, and some claimed to be old men, though the claim was not borne out by their playing. Dartmouth really possesses several shining lights among her faculty in the department of tennis, and the undergraduate who can beat Professor Burton or Professor Proctor or Doctor Carleton has a right to feel very proud of himself. The result of the faculty match was as follows:

Nelson defeated Professor Proctor 6-4, 6-4.

Doctor Carleton defeated Webber 4-6 6-4, 6-4.

Professor Burton defeated Harmon 6-3, 6-0.

Hugus defeated Doctor Boggs 1-6 6-1, 6-3.

Professors Proctor and Burton defeated Nelson and Harmon 6-4, 6-4.

Webber and Hugus defeated Doctor Carleton and Doctor Boggs 5-7, 6-4 6-4
