TENNIS

Dartmouth still was maintaining a blistering tennis pace with only a 5-4 loss at Yale marring the league record. The biggest plum to date was the winning of both the singles and doubles titles at the New England Intercollegiate Tennis Championships held in New Haven.

Charlie Hoeveler, senior captain from Southport, Conn., won the singles title and joined with Bill Kirkpatrick, Kalamazoo, Mich., senior, to take the doubles.

Hoeveler had been singles runner-up the last two tournaments. His win this year, 8-6 and 6-0, was over John Levin of Harvard who earlier had defeated him in a regular season match.

The Green tennis players pulled several surprises during the meet. Kirkpatrick upset the top seeded player, Yale's Jack Waltz, 6-1, 4-6 and 6-2, and Curt Anderson, senior from Mamaroneck, N. Y., upset another early favorite, Harvard's Bernie Adelsberg, 6-2, 6-2.

At press time the tennis team still faced difficult matches against Army and Pennsylvania.

The Hoeveler-Kirkpatrick combination is generally regarded as the best doubles team in the region. They were 15-1 so far this spring. Hoeveler had a 13-3 record at the Number One singles post, and Kirkpatrick was 10-6 in second spot.

Other outstanding players for Dartmouth this spring have been Anderson, 11-5 at the third position, and his doubles teammate Roger Gutner, junior from White Plains, N. Y.

According to Coach John Kenfield, "Hoeveler is one of the best competitors I have ever coached. His serve and aggressiveness at the net are among his chief assets."

He says Hoeveler's three services flat, slice and twist - "form a formidable arsenal. It is difficult to tell which one is coming, especially since he is lefthanded."
