Tennis Team Bounces To Easy Cornell Win; Prepares for Bulldogs

Harvard's tennis team dumped Cornell in routine fashion yesterday, but the Crimson netmen will not have much time to gloat over their 8-1 victory.

On Wednesday, Jack Barnaby's squad travels to Yale for a match that will probably decide the Eastern Intercollegiate Tennis Association Championship.

Harvard must defeat Yale to maintain a mathematical chance of sharing the conference title with Penn and Princeton. Penn clinched at least a tie for the title when it whitewashed Cornell, 9-0, last Saturday. Like Harvard, Princeton must triumph in its final two league contests if it hopes to catch the high-flying Quakers.

Some of the Crimson racketmen had to hustle to secure their individual victories against Cornell. Rocky Jarvis, filling in for John Levin at number one singles, fell behind 6-3, 3-0, before taking command. "The Rock" finally triumphed 3-6, 8-6, 8-6.

Kent Parrot and Terry Oxford also needed three sets to subdue their stubborn opponents. Senior Bo Jones was Harvard's only loser, dropping a tight three-set match at number six. Sophomore Larry Terrell and Captain Jose Gonzales scored decisive singles wins.

Harvard can expect considerably more bite from the aroused Bulldogs. Yale stands fourth in the league race with a 4-3 won-loss record.

Beginning the season with a relatively inexperienced lineup, the Elis have emerged as a solid outfit which could easily upset the Crimson.

In their match against Princeton, last Saturday. Yale battled all the way down the ladder before falling, 6-3. Senior Bob McCallum, who wins Rhodes Scholarships and plays starting guard in basketball when he is off the tennis court, led Yale with an extended triumph over the notorious Bobby Goeltz.

Harvard will travel to New Haven as a favorite, but the Crimson will have to shine if it wants a share of the league championship.
