GOLFERS PLACE THIRD IN INTERCOLLEGIATES; NETMEN LOSE CLOSE MATCH TO ST. JOHN'S 5-4

Taking two singles and two doubles matches, Harvard's Varsity tennis team lost a close one to St. John's College by a score of 5 to 4 under a broiling hot sun on the Divinity Field courts last Saturday afternoon. On Friday afternoon the Yardling racquetmen decisively took the measure of Tufts 8 to 1, but on Saturday lost to Andover 5 to 4.

Going into the doubles matches, the Varsity was losing 4 to 2 and needed to sweep all three matches in order to win. Hugh Hyde, playing with Dick Sorlien, and Jim Jenkins, playing with Lin Burton, took two of the necessary three after a hard fight, but Russ Ellis and Will Nicholl lost out to McGuire and Bryant of St. Johns 6-3, 6-4.

Losing to Andover by only one point represented a definite improvement on the part of the Crimson Freshmen, who earlier in the week, had gone down to defeat before the Blue by the lopsided score of 7 to 1.
