Varsity Tennis Team Tops Army, 15-0, for Tenth Win

After three weeks of tennis playing, the tennis varsity has yet to find a team which can give it anything resembling opposition. Saturday, the Crimson crushed Army, 15 to 0, for its second Eastern Intercollegiate League win, its tenth win of the season, and its fourteenth consecutive win since losing to the University of Miami last May.

Since returning from the south, the varsity has yet to lose an individual match, running up 9-0 wins over Navy, M.I.T., and B.U. and Saturday's 15-0 rout of Army. Unfortunately, about the only thing that can be inferred from these contests is that Jack Barnaby's team is deep.

It is impossible to guess how the Crimson might do against Yale, Princeton or Presbyterian, the team's three most important matches. However, this question will be resolved tomorrow when the Presbyterian squad, fresh from a 6-3 win over Princeton, comes to town to do battle with Harvard.

In the Army match there were only one or two individual encounters which could be construed as being close. At number seven singles, Phil Mills was forced to a 13-11, second-set win after taking the first one 6 to 3, and the third doubles combine of Steve Gottlieb and Ian Gianetti actually dropped a set, 6 to 4, before winning their match.

At first singles, Dale Junta, although bothered somewhat by the strong cross-wind which whistled over the courts all afternoon, defeated Tony Ellison, 6-3, 6-3. At second singles, Gottlieb topped George Huft, 7-5, 6-1, and Larry Sears turned in his most impressive victory of the home season as he swept past Army's third man, Bill Bailey, 6-0, 6-1.
