Tennis

Duplicating the success with which he began his work as varsity hockey coach, Herb Gill has made his debut as tennis coach this spring with one of the best court seasons that Dartmouth has had in many years. Paced by Paul Guibord, No. 1 singles player, the Green netmen have won seven of their eight matches, losing only to the exceptionally strong Princeton team. Dartmouth's victims this year have been Colgate, 8-1; Williams, 7-2; M. I. T., 8-1; Brown, 8-1; Longwood Tennis Club, 5-4; Yale, 5-4; and Columbia, 4-3. Princeton handed the Indians their one defeat by a 6-3 score.

Paul Guibord played the best tennis of his career this season, remaining undefeated in singles in all eight team matches, and receiving his one setback from Ed Mansfield of Yale in the quarter-final round of the New England Intercollegiates. The Dartmouth junior, who is hockey captain as well as No. 1 netman in College, has triumphed over such ranking players as Gilbert Hunt of Longwood, Tom Flynn of Princeton, George Stevens of Yale, Norton of Columbia, Kelleher of Williams, and Woods of Colgate.

Guibord was top-seeded player in the New England Intercollegiates, and although he was eliminated in the singles, by Mansfield, the man whom he defeated in the final of the Vermont state tournament last summer, he teamed up with Captain Bob Husted to bring back the New England doubles title.

In addition to Guibord and Husted in the top two positions, the Green tennis team this year was made up of Doug Mook, Larry Marx, Norm Anderson, and Bob Neill. Mook and Marx formed the No. 2 doubles team, with Anderson and Neill making up the third combination. Ralph Seeley, who played No. 3 during the past two seasons, had to forego tennis this spring because of medical studies.
