TENNIS

Following the spring trip, during which Coach Red Hoehn's netmen won one match and dropped three, the team entrained for New York to met Columbia in the season's first league contest. Dave Kurr, Bert Rodman, Bill Dey and Jim Myers won their singles matches against the Lions, while Rodman and Dey teamed to win one doubles match and Bob Jordan paired with sophomore Jeff Hart to capture the other. The 6-3 victory was the first league triumph for Dartmouth in three years. Meeting potent Yale the following day in New Haven, the team fell by a 6-3 score, an excellent performance against a top Eastern team. Rodman won the only singles match for Dartmouth and together with Dey picked up a point in the doubles. The other Dartmouth triumph came when Kurr and Myers outlasted their doubles rivals in a three-set engagement.

Encouraged by their performances on this trip, the boys really went to work on favored Amherst in their next match. Winning, 9-0, Kurr, Captain Arnie Kramer, Bill Gahagan, Rodman, Dey and Myers scored crushing singles victories over their Lord Jeff rivals. Then the doubles combinations of Kramer-Gahagan, Dey-Rodman and Kurr-Myers finished the job by .trouncing their opponents.

Under Coach Hoehn, the team is coming along in fine fashion and is easily the best Dartmouth tennis aggregation in several years. Competition for berths on the squad is intense, with sophomores Welch, Hart and Simel and upperclassmen Stahl, Taylor and Irving battling the regulars for places in the starting lineup.
