TENNIS

The tennis team, under the able tutelage of Coach Red Hoehn, has also been having a rather trying time of it this spring. Winning their initial encounter from Amherst, the team dropped matches to Yale, Army, Princeton and Harvard on successive Saturdays. The team was bolstered in mid-season by the addition of Bill Dey, freshman football captain and promising guard on the basketball team, who also happens to be one of the best tennis players in these parts. Unable to begin tennis until after the spring football season, Dey joined the team before the Princeton meet and, with two days practice, put up a very creditable showing against the Tiger No. 5 man. After he gets the feel of the racket, Dey is expected to move rapidly up the ladder on the Dartmouth squad, with chances good that he will be playing in the No. 1 or 2 slot before the end of the season.

The men currently making up the team are: Paul Campbell, No. 1; Captain Bruce Kenworthy, No. 2; Wally Howe, No. 3; John Foster, No. 4; Dey, No. 5; and Charlie Duncan, No. 6. Campbell and Foster perform as one doubles team, Bill Boardman and Herb Boedtker another, and Grant Tinker and Bob Jordan as the third. Campbell, incidentally, entered the New England Intercollegiates and penetrated as far as the semi-finals before he was eliminated. The 1947 squad as a whole is said by reliable informants to be almost the equal of last year's; the only difficulty (and the explanation for the uneven scores in some of the rarefied Ivy League compelowell tition) is that the other teams are very much stronger.
