Miami Blanks Tennis Team As Gilkey, Burt Are Edged

Harvard's Varsity tennis team went down to a 9 to 0 defeat at the hands of powerful Miami University, but the individual matches were much closer than the final score indicates. Four of the six singles duels went to three sets, and most of the matches were very close.

Dave Burt dropped a 5-7, 8-6, 8-6 heartbreaker to Gillespie, and Gilkey fell before Brownstein 5-7, 7-5, 12-10, Palfrey lost, 6-4, 6-4 to Hardie. Veterans Chet Logg and Jack Stewart also lost but only after bitterly contested matches.

The three Crimson doubles combinations of Palfrey and Lyell, Gilkey and Burt, and Peabody and Stewart were not able to give the Southerners much competition.

Gardner Mulloy beat Yardling coach Dick Dorson, 6-3, 7-5 in an exhibition contest, and the Harvard Freshmen blanked M.I.T. 9 to 0 earlier in the afternoon. The Crimson first-year netmen swept the nine points with the loss of but one set.
