Varsity Netmen Bow To United Shoe, 7-5

Prosperity didn't sit well with the Crimson tennis team Saturday. After winning five of eight singles matches, the Varsity netmen lost all four final doubles contests to bow before a squad representing the United Shoe Country Club, 7 to 5, at the United Shoe courts at Beverly.

Of the singles winners, number one man Lane McGovern, had the easiest time, taking a 6-1, 6-0 triumph over United Shoe's Duncan. The only other Crimson victor to win in straight sets was Harold Swartzman, while Bill Brady, Travis Gresham, and Bill Mayleas required three sets each before they took their matches. Bill Wightman, Andy Muldoon, and Hal Melvin were the Varsity singles losers.

Loses All Doubles

In the doubles, only the team of Wightman and Swartzman put up much of a battle, bowing 7-5, 5-7, 6-3, and the other three Crimson duos lost in straight sets.

Plans are being made for a possible match with the Law School raqueteers tomorrow afternoon at Dillon Field courts, and the Varsity squad may face the Lincoln Tennis Club on Saturday.
