Tennis Ace Ted Bake Elected 1948 Captain

Theodore C. Backe '48, of Holworthy Hall and Bay Shere, Long Island, was elected Varsity tennis captain for the coming year after the Yale matches last week. Backe was number one player on this year's Varsity, winning several matches in the course of the year's disastrous 2 and 7 season.

He hold a number twelve ranking in National Junior competition before the war, and travelled to Florida last winter to participate in the Sugar Bowl tournament. In 1942 he reached the quarter finals of this tournament before bowing to Billy Talbert in extra sets.
