Elis Trip Netmen 8-1 on Indoor Courts

Yale's strong tennis squad took a surprising liking to the indoor playing surfaces of the Longwood Cricket Club and the Country Club and administered an 8 to 1 defeat to the Crimson netmen Saturday afternoon in a match forced indoors because of rain.

The Barnabymen forced five out of the six singles bonts into extra sets but were unable to win any of them. Langdon Gilkey fell before Mac Stephens 6-1, 2-6, 6-4; Dave Burt bowed to Sewall Cutler, 6-2, 3-6, 7-5; Johnny Palfrey lost to Bill Thorn, 1-6, 6-3, 6-2; Harris Westhelmer was outlasted by Bob Freedman, 10-8, 5-7, 6-1; Chet Legg was disposed of by Steckler of Yale, 6-2, 6-4; and Jack Stewart lost to Wheeler, 3-6, 7-5, 7-5.

Burt and Gilkey were defeated by Stephens and Rutledge in the first doubles engagement, 6-3, 4-6, 7-5; and Homer Peabody and Sonny Lyell lost to the Eli combine of Thorn and Kelly, 5-7, 7-5, 6-4. Corey Wynn and Orme Wilson gave Harvard its only point in the number three doubles match by beating Ehrman and Blair, 6-3, 6-0.
