Playing under unfavorable weather conditions, the University tennis team succumbed to the strong Graduate School combination yesterday on the Divinity Courts by a 6 to 3 score.

The outstanding singles match of the day was that between M. T. Hill '30 and E. G. Chandler, 21, former intercollegiate tennis champion and no. 5 in the national ranking of 1926. The former University of California star experienced little trouble in vanquishing Hill, outplaying him in every department of the game. The ranking player showed flashes of the brilliant form which has assured him a place on the Davis Cup squads of the past several years.
