Losing but one doubles match in the entire contest, Harvard's Varsity tennis team had no difficulty in taking the measurement of M. I. T. by a score of 8 to 1 yesterday afternoon on the Divinity Field courts. The Boilermakers, however, had much of the stigma of the defeat alleviated by the fact that only Sophomores and Juniors on the Tech squad were allowed to compete, since M. I. T. Seniors have already graduated.
Bill Kissel, Ted Cohn, Bill Frothingham, Howio Ezell and Lin Burton made short shrift of their respective singles matches, and to Johnny Burton fell the distinction of playing the longest individual set of the afternoon before defeating his opponent, 6-2, 13-11.
In the doubles, Captain Orme Wilson, playing with Jim Jenkins, and Hugh Hyde, together with Wally MacDonald, took their matches handily, but M. I. T.'s Nelson and Greenman defeated Norm Neagle and Irv Fried, 8-6, 6-4.
