Coach Barnaby's dire predictions about early-season difficulties rang true again over the weekend as his Varsity netmen went down to their fourth and fifth consecutive defeats of the season before powerful Pennsylvania and Princeton squads.
Out of eighteen matches played by the visiting Crimson on Friday and Saturday, the squad was able to salvage only three, as they came out on the short end of a 6 to 3 score in the Quaker contest, and were swamped by a strong Tiger team, 9 to 0.
The netmen managed to take two singles and one doubles match from Penn to make the most of a gloomy Friday afternoon. The brightest spot of the day was number-one man Ted Backe's first singles win of the current campaign, which the topped off by teaming with Steve Pratt to salt away Harvard's only doubles victory.
Journeying up Nassau way on Saturday, after their loss to Penn, the squad met their most powerful opponents of the season to date in the Princeton team. The Red and Black rolled through the six singles and three doubles matches without faltering once to sweep the entire contest.
