Varsity Beats Penn, Army In E.I.T.L. Tennis Matches

Rain drenched the Soldiers Field tennis courts this weekend, but it did not stop the varsity from scoring two Eastern Intercollegiate Tennis League victories. Its E.I.T.L. record is now 3 and 2.

The Crimson went indoors at both the Brookline Country Club and the Badminton and Tennis Club Friday to trounce Pennsylvania for the first time in three years, 6 to 3. Then Saturday at Soldiers Field, the Crimson scored seven straight victories to make the Army match official before a downpour stopped the second and third doubles matches.

The one-two-three singles combination of Charlie Ufford, Bob Bramhall, and Art French won its matches for the Crimson both days. French trimmed his opponents in four straight sets, losing only six games in two matches. Ufford won, 6-3, 6-2, and 6-4, 6-4, on Friday and Saturday respectively.

Robb Wins Twice

Bayard Robb also came through with two wins at the fifth position though he was carried to three sets on both days. Each time he lost the first set and then swept the next two, Dave Watts and Paul Toblas at four and six split their matches by losing to the Quakers and defeating the Cadets.

In doubles, Bramhall and Bill Goodman won both days, 6-4, 7-5, against Penn, and 6-0, 6-1, against Army. Hugh Nawn and Gerry Murphy won the other doubles match against Penn, 6-4, 6-3.

Coach Jack Barnaby is still experimenting with his doubles combinations and sent Ufford and Robb in as the other pair against the Quakers. Watts and French form another due.

The freshman 'B' team also won decisively, 7 to 2, at St. Marks Saturday. Eric Moore, who is fifth-needed in the national boys' rankings won his first singles match from Herb Stone and then combined with his brother. Pete, to win the first doubles from Stone and Dick Paine for the prep-schoolers' only win.
