The Freshman tennis team defeated Worcester Academy on the Divinity courts yesterday afternoon 7-0 for the second clean sweep of the year. As had been expected the visitors provided a more severe test for the yearlings than did Browne and Nichols last week, but though most of the matches were more closely contested than were those of the previous contest, only one went to three sets.
Captain Ingraham with speed and accuracy and Briggs with his effective steadiness excelled for the yearlings, while Dreyfus featured for Worcester with a powerful fore-hand drive.
The summary:
Singles.--Ingraham (H) defeated Persons (W), 6-3, 6-2; Briggs (H) defeated Dreyfus (W), 6-1, 6-3; Dixon (H) defeated Salter (W), 6-4, 4-6, 6-3; Manning (H) defeated Thomas (W), 6-1, 6-3; Rosen (H) defeated Kaufman (W), 6-4, 6-3.
Doubles.--Ingraham and Dixon (H) defeated Persons and Salter (W), 6-1, 6-1; Briggs and Bondi (H) defeated Dreyfus and Thomas (W), 6-1, 6-2.
Final Score.--Harvard Freshmen 7, Worcester, Academy 0.
