Tennis

The Green tennis team has enjoyed its most successful season in years, defeating Yale for the first time on record, losing to the crack Princeton and Harvard teams by 5-4 scores, and compiling a general record of five victories and two losses. In addition to team matches, Bob Husted and Paul Guibord annexed the New England intercollegiate doubles title, and Husted was runner-up in the singles competition.

After being rained out at Williams, the Green netmen faced Yale at New Haven on May 11, and captured the match by sweeping all three doubles contests after trailing 4-2 in the singles. Husted and Guibord were defeated in the No. 1 and No. 2 singles matches but teamed up to conquer Stevens and Moorhead of Yale in a stirring doubles match that swung the tide for Dartmouth.

Against Harvard on the following day, Husted and Guibord again won their doubles match after the singles had ended in a 3-3 draw, but the Crimson won the last two doubles and the match, 5-4. Guibord defeated Ellsworth Davenport, the Harvard star, in the best singles match of the day, 3-6, 6-4, 6-3.

Dartmouth subdued the Longwood Cricket Club team on Sunday, May 13, by a 6-3 score. Husted and Guibord won their singles matches handily, but were defeated in the doubles by Turner and Hunt, 6-3, 8-6.
