EXETER DOWNED IN TENNIS

The Freshman tennis players defeated a crippled Exeter team on the Academy's courts yesterday afternoon by a score of 7-1, the only two sets which the yearlings lost being included in the single match going to the schoolboys. Most of the contests were one-sided, the notable exception being the third singles, in which it took three hard-fought sets before Perkins of Exeter finally defeated Dixon.
