Tennis Team Plays M.I.T. Here Today

The Crimson tennis team will open its home season this afternoon against MIT on the Soldiers Field courts. The engineers should provide no serious opposition for the varsity, and the match will not be part of Eastern Intercollegiate League play.

At first singles for the varsity will be Dale Junta. The big junior from California was the mainstay of last year's championship squad, and should win with little trouble today.

At second singles, Steve Gottlieb will be attempting to fill the shoes of last year's captain Brooks Harris. Many who saw his excellent performance in the 1956 intercollegiates and who remember his fine play on the southern trip this spring feel he can.

Squash Champion Ben Heckscher will handle the third singles chore for the varsity, moving up from fourth position last year. Squash captain-elect Larry Sears, a new comer to varsity tennis competition, will be at fourth singles, probably followed by Cal Place and Captain Ian Gianetti in fifth and sixth positions respectively. Both of these men return from the 1956 varsity.
