TENNIS TEAM DOWNS BUSINESS SCHOOL 6-2

Defeats J. M. Davies, Ranking in National Doubles First Ten, in Straight Sets-Pfaffmann Downs Herndon

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

A tennis match yesterday with the Business School, which the University won 6 to 2, revealed a strong, well-balanced team and augered for a successful future. Although it must be admitted that the Business School Players showed a distinct lack of outdoor practice, no qualification can be made to the statement that each College player displayed great ability and an excellent knowledge of the games.

Ingraham's victory in the first singles over Davis, former intercollegiate doubles champion from California, and among the first ten in the national doubles ranking, and Pfaffmann's victory over Herndon, former Princeton Captain in the third singles, were entirely unexpected in the second singles match the verdict lay in the balance until the very end when Wheeler, formerly second man on the Yale team and winner of the University tournament here last fall, won the third set 6-4.

Doubles Need Practice
