TENNIS TEAM RETAINS NEW ENGLAND TITLES
August, 1922

Dartmouth's tennis team repeated its performance of last year by winning both singles and doubles championships in the New England Intercollegiate Lawn Tennis Association tournament. Not only did they win both titles but they went through the tournament without the loss of a set. This is the first time that any team has won a dual championship two years running.

In the singles Sanders, the Green captain, met very little opposition in the early rounds. In the final match he faced Carver of M. I. T., whom he had eliminated last year in the semi-finals only after one of the hardest matches of the tournament, having lost the first two sets. This year the first set was hard fought, Sanders finally taking it at 7 — 5. After this set Carver offered little real opposition, Sanders taking the next two, 6 — l, 6 — o. Carleton, Dartmouth's other entry in the singles, survived until the third round, losing to Carver of Bowdoin for the privilege of playing in the semi-finals.

Sanders and Howe met even less opposition in the doubles. In the final match they were paired against Carver and Scott of M. I. T., whom they easily defeated in straight sets, 6—2, 6—4, 6—2.
