Crimson Tennis Team Nips Dartmouth Visitors by 5-4

It was a case of two "potential" tennis teams exchanging potentialities yesterday afternoon as the Crimson threw to the winds its tradition of dropping the close ones and ground out a 5 to 4 victory over Dartmouth.

The match was a league affair played on the Soldiers Field courts.

Following pre-game predictions closely, the match was in doubt to the end with the Indians dominating the doubles, and Coach Jack Barnaby's varsity holding a slight edge in the singles.

The upper echelons of Dartmouth's sextet went the way of all sheepskins last spring and the Green's major problem all year has been to turn an average group of veterans and some exceptional new talent into something to beat better than average Ivy League competition.

With the season all but a week gone, the Indians turned up with a squad strong and steady in team play but unable to handle the Crimson individually.
