RETURN OF 11 VETERANS BOOSTS TENNIS HOPES

Captain Jones, Glidden, and Sargent Are Outstanding Prospects, With First Match Saturday

A successful season on the courts is the cheerful prospect greeting Coach Harry Cowles this spring, as 11 of last year's Varsity racqueteers return. Although the team, which is captained by Frank W. Jones '35, boasts no outstanding players, it is well balanced, and should roll up a good record.

Captain Jones, E. Rotan Sargent '36, and Germain G. Glidden '36, are the nucleus around which the team will be formed. Sargent and Glidden held the Intercollegiate Squash Championship in 1934 and 1935 respectively, and Glidden was a regular on the tennis team last year.

Franklin P. Whitbeck '35, and Alden R. Bryan '35 are the other veteran singles players, while Willard E. Ingalls '35 and Robert L. Bentley, 1L '36 also played against Yale last spring.

The Freshman team is as yet undecided, but the number of candidates indicates a strong team. A tournament for the first-year men is now in progress, but only the first round has been completed.

The Varsity opens its nine-game schedule on Saturday against Columbia at Divinity Field.
