Tennis

With a good nucleus of veterans back and several promising sophomore additions, Coach Red Hoehn has the makings of another fine tennis team. This was amply demonstrated on the southern trip when the netmen turned in the best record of any Big Green squad, with five wins and only one defeat. The Indians stopped Georgetown, 7-2, George Washington, 6-3, Quantico, 6-3, and Navy, in the first league match, 6-2. The one defeat came at the hands of powerful Presbyterian College by a 5-4 score, but on the following day the Green avenged this by defeating the Presbyterians by the same 5-4 score.

Most encouraging aspect of the trip was the showing of sophomore Jim Biggs, playing in the number three slot. He was undefeated in six matches, while sophomore Phil Meyer, ranked sixth, posted a 5-1 record. Veterans Bill McLung and Ron Pickett, seeded number one and two respectively, swapped positions half-way through the trip and both split even in their matches. Biggs also has a chance to move up to the top spot if he continues to play as he has. Jack Herrick, another letterman, currently ranked fourth, posted a 4-2 mark on the trip, while Gordon Aydelott, seeded fifth, had five wins and one loss.

Coach Red Hoehn was highly pleased with the trip and the showing of veterans and newcomers alike. A lack of depth is the only cloud on the horizon, but if the current lineup can stay intact the Indians should have a fine spring on the courts.
