TENNIS

The tennis team under the capable direction of Coach Red Hoehn finished the season with a decisive win over Pennsylvania after losing close matches to Army and Navy. In the Army contest, Roy Carruthers, Paul Campbell, and Bert Rodman won their matches, while Captain John Gooding, Bruce Ken worthy and Ed Jacobs lost theirs. The meeting was decided in the doubles matches, with the final one by the Dartmouth first team of Gooding and Carruthers taking most of the afternoon to complete. The Dartmouth netmen won the first set 14-12, lost the second 10-8, and the third 6-4, to give the Army its narrow margin of victory.

In the Navy matches, Gooding beat his man easily in straight sets, but the usually steady Roy Carruthers lost his match. Paul Campbell took the measure of his opponent, as did Bruce Kenworthy. Rodman and Bill Bates, a newcomer to the team for this trip, lost their matches in three sets. In the doubles, Bates and Kenworthy lost, as did Rodman and Jacobs. Only Gooding and Carruthers were able to dispose of their opponents, which they did easily 6-2, 6-4. This was not quite enough, however, and the Green dropped another ciose one by the score of 5-4. In what proved to be the final match of the season (Columbia and M.I.T. being rained out), Dartmouth went out in a blaze of glory by swamping Penn, 8-1. All the singles men won their individual contests and only the doubles team of Rodman and Jacobs went down to defeat. Gooding and Carruthers triumphed handily, as did Bates and Renworthy. The campaign was an unusually long and arduous one, studded with matches with the best intercollegiate performers in the East. All things considered, Coach Hoehn's boys did very well in their first postwar season.
