TENNIS

Coach Red Hoehn's charges have enjoyed a fairly good season so far, as may be seen from a perusal of the scores listed elsewhere. The pattern so far has been that, in the meets the team has won, they have done so largely by virtue of superior depth, winning many of the matches of their lower ranking men while losing many in the top brackets. The Amherst meet illustrates this point. Playing at No. 1 for Dartmouth, Captain Bert Rodman lost to hrs opponent by the score of 6-2, 6-1. The No. 2 man for the Green, sophomore Tom Allen, also dropped his match, this time by the score of 6-3, 6-1. From that point on, however, the match was predominantly Green. Jo Welch, at No. 9, won his match 6-3, 6-3; Park Taylor was forced into an extra set to win 4-6, 6-4, 6-2; Jim Meyers won his contest with no pain by the score of 6-1, 6-1; and Bill Dey took his by the score of 9-7, 6-3.

In the doubles, the same pattern was repeated when Rodman and Allen, the No. 1 team, went down to defeat, thus giving the visitors their third and last match. After that, Welch and Taylor won their match, followed by Vitt and Stahl, playing as the No. g team. The No. 1 and 2 men of Amherst are among the finest players in New England, and the first two men on the Dartmouth team have been meeting opponents of consistently top-ranking calibre so far this season. Their defeats thus denote no discredit to them, but rather the level of the competition. At the same time, the depth of the squad and its ability to pull team matches out of the fire by the play of the lower brackets speaks well for the coaching of Red Hoehn and the courage of his men.
