In two routine performances against weak opposition, the varsity tennis team completed its pre-Yale season undefeated with 7-2 victories over Columbia on Friday and Cornell on Saturday.
After his very impressive triumph over Dartmouth's Dick Hoehn last Wednesday, Crimson captain Ned Weld experienced a severe let-down and lost in straight sets to Columbia's Lloyd Moglen and Cornell's Don Rubell. Other Crimson losses were absorbed Friday by Jorge Lemann and Saturday by Tim Gallway.
After several switches, the Yale tennis match has definitely been set for Wednesday, May 13, at Soldiers Field.
Bob Bowditch, Fred Vinton, Bill Wood, and Jim Cameron each picked up two wins, and the varsity swept all the doubles matches.
