Defeated by Pennsylvania for the first time since 1928, the Harvard Varsity tennis team took revenge on a week Annapolis aggregation the next day, swamping it 9-0. The week-end trip to the Southland thus ended with an even break for Coach Cowles' veterans.
Bob Bentley at number 5 and Jim Fuld at 6 were the only Crimson racquetmen to win both their singles matches. In doubles, Jimmy Glidden earned the distinction of being undefeated in two matches. The squad champion teamed with Jim Roberts against Pennsylvania, and with Gordie Robertson against the Naval Academy to garner two triumphs.
