HARVARD WHITEWASHES PRINCETON ON COURTS

Six Tiger tennis players, who were able to give Yale a very close fight last week, left the Divinity tennis courts yesterday afternoon conquered and whitewashed 9 to 0 by the University's undefeated team. To be sure, the six were not the same six, handicapped as they undoubtedly were by Captain Paton's inability to come to Cambridge, but they were hopelessly eclipsed by what can be fairly regarded as one of the greatest tennis teams seen at Harvard in recent years.

Crimson Should Down Yale

Hynson, playing against Ingraham, was materially handicapped in the first set by the inaccuracy of his serve. In his second set he managed to recoup himself somewhat and forced his opponent to extend himself at somewhat greater length. Hicks, the No. 2 Princeton man, displayed the best form of any of his teammates, and in both singles and doubles matches was a factor to be contended with. The rest of the Princeton team seemed unable to reach the pace of their University opponents and succumbed with but little resistance.

Hicks Looses Hard

Whether or not Captain Ingraham's powerful group will be able to carry through their string of victories to its logical conclusion at New Haven this Saturday, is largely problematical. Last year at this time an optimistic point of view was as justifiable as it is now, but Yale proved too powerful. It is possible that a similar outcome may be in store for this year's aggregation. One undeniable fact, however, discourages any such pessimism, and that is the comparative scores. In this regard the University has had a better record than has the Yale team. This is especially salient when it is noted that Yale only won over Princeton by a single point margin by the score of 5 to 4.

The summary:

Singles: Ingraham (H) defeated Hynson (P) 6-1, 6-3. Briggs (H) defeated Hicks (P) 6-4, 4-6, 6-2. Whitbeck (H) defeated Minary (P) 6-2, 6-1. Perkins (H) defeated Lambert (P) 6-3, 6-4. Cummings (H) defeated Wood (P) 6-3, 6-1. Lenhart (H) defeated Heyl (P) 6-8; 6-3, 6-4.

Doubles: Ingraham and Whitbeck defeated Hynson and Lambert 6-1, 6-1. Briggs and Perkins defeated Hicks and Ewing 6-2., 4-6, 6-4. Lenhart and Gordon defeated Wood and Minary 6-3, 7-5.
