Ruggers Slaughter MIT As Tennis Team Falls, 9-0

Despite the loss of four featured players for the game, the Rugby club steamrollered a creampuff MIT, squad 28 to 0 Saturday on Soldiers Field. The game was so one-aided that most of the spectators moved to the Tech goal line during the second half in order to better enjoy the passing parade of Harvard tries and conversions.

All in all, the team scored eight tries (touchdown worth 3 points) and two conversions (worth two points each) to make up the astronomical total of 29 points. John Donomore scored both conversions, and the tries were divided among Al Green (1), Captain Joe Eaton (2), John Carey (2), and Dave Worrall (3).

Carey Starts

MIT seemed to be thoroughly outclassed throughout the game. Their attack depended on a set on only average forwards and a better than average wing three-quarter, but these weapons were hardly enough to hold off the Rugby club. John Carey's forward play was picked as the outstanding feature of the Harvard attack.

The varsity tennis team, playing on a string of four victories, bumped into its first major opposition of the season Saturday at Cornell and fell before the experienced Big Red team by 9 to 0.

In discovering that the Ithacans aren't in the same league with such teams as DU and Brown, the Crimson players were only able to make close battles out of two of the nine matches.

"Best Tennis"

Number one man Bud Ager played "the best tennis by far of his career," according to Coach Barnaby, in his match against Cornell's Dick Savitt, Savitt, who stands twenty-third in national amateur-rankings, had to battle to 8-6 in the first set, but Ager was so tired in the second set that Savitt won, 6-0.

Other Crimson singles losers were Ted Bullard, Charlie Ames, Hillard Hughes, Jack Frey, and Jay Robb. Besides Ager, Robb was the only varsity player who kept his singles match close.

In the doubles, Ager and Bullard, Hughes and Mitch Reose, and Robb and Dave Key all lost their matches by heavy margins.
