UNIVERSITY NETMEN IN FIRST OUTDOOR WORK

FIRST GAME WITH PENNSYLVANIA ONLY CONTEST AWAY

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

After more than a month of practice on the sheltered courts of the New Indoor Athletic Building, the University tennis squad played outside yesterday for the first time this season on the Divinity Courts.

Starting with a nucleus of three veterans. Coach Cowles hopes to build a powerful team from the thirteen other members of the squad, all of whom have had experience before either on last year's squad or on the Freshman team. D. M. Frame '32, captain of the Harvard netmen for this season, who played number five on last year's team is expected to show leading tennis this spring; another man from whom much is expected is A. W. Patterson '32, captain of the squash team last winter, who was rated at number six on the 1931 Harvard tennis list.

Thompson Shows Promise

A third prominent candidate for court honors during the next few months is W. C. Thompson '32, number seven for Harvard last year; Thompson looked unusually good this winter in the Canadian indoor championship playoffs, when matched against George Lott, Davis Cup player, who was continually forced to the wall by the Harvard man. Lott finally won the match, but Thompson's performance excited considerable comment on the part of experts watching the play.

Although a match is scheduled Saturday with M.I.T., it is probable that it will be postponed, owing to the lack of practice of both teams. Instead, the season will be inaugurated April 23, when the team journeys to Philadelphia to meet Pennsylvania, this is the only match this year away from Cambridge.

The members of the squad follow: J. M. Barnaby '32; F. B. Broida '32; F. O. Canfield '32; H. W. Cole '32; S. E. Davenport III '34; D. M. Frame '32; Lawrence Freeburn '34; G. H. Hartford 2nd '34; Richard Inglis, Jr. '33; G. D. Key '33; A. W. Patterson '32; J. F. Ray '34; W. C. Thompson '32; E. S. Underwood '32; C. Y. Wadsworth '32; and H. R. Woodard '33.
