Although the annual college tennis tournament has been held up this spring by unfavorable weather conditions, a varsity team picked from the most likely championship contenders has already played three matches, winning easily from Amherst and Tufts and losing to Harvard. The team is made up of Capt. R. R. Larmon '19, W. H. Farnham '20, A. H. Ranney '19, and J. P. Carleton '22.

In the opening contest with Williams May 3, Dartmouth made the best of its home court advantage and scored a 6—0 win. The home team was particularly strong in the doubles, but Carleton was the only man to take his singles match in straight sets. The first trip of the year included contests with Tufts at Medford May 9, and Harvard at Cambridge, May 10. Tufts proved an easy victim, allowing Dartmouth another 6—0 cleanup, but in the meeting with Harvard the next day the Green was, outclassed. The Cambridge team took every set in the singles, and Captain Larmon and Carleton barely saved Dartmouth from a shut-out by nosing out a victory in their doubles match.
