Varsity Tennis Team Loses to Williams as Deerfield Topples '50

Jack Barnaby's advance information that the Williams tennis team would be "very nearly equal to ours in strength" proved overly optimistic on the basis of Saturday's match, as the Crimson went down to the season's fifth straight defeat, 6 to 3, salvaging only one singles match.

Meanwhile the first Freshman squad was suffering a similar fate at Deerfield, as the Deerfield Varsity handed them a decisive 4 to 2 trimming in an incomplete match.

The Varsity lineup: Singles; Backe, Tufts, Wightman, Pratt, Coon, and Schwartzman. Doubles; Backe and Pratt, Tufts and Wightman, Coon and Schwartzman.
