Boston College may play a good game of football and hockey, but it's another story where tennis is concerned. Yesterday afternoon the Crimson shut out the Eagles, 9 to 0, in one of the worst drubbings in the last few years.

The varsity, which only Wednesday had swept past BU by the same score, won every one of the nine matches in straight sets and in the process took 10 of the 18 sets by six-love scores. In fact, BC was only able to capture 17 out of the afternoon's 125 games.

Clean Sweep In Singles

In singles play the Crimson completely outclassed the less experienced Eagles, as Bud Ager, Captain Ted Bullard, Charlie Ames, Hilliard Hughes, Jack Frey, and Jay Robb put a quick finish to the competition. Ames, Hughes, and Frey won their two-set matches without dropping a single game.

The Eagles looked a bit better in the doubles but not very much so. Ames and Hughes had to play 6-4, 6-2 sets to down the first BC team, but the other two Crimson combinations--Ames and Hughes and Dave Key and Vince Zinsser--were less harassed.

Varsity coach Jack Barnaby didn't get a chance to see his team's sparkling performance, for a bad cold kept him in bed. In Barnaby's absence, freshman coach Corey Wynn handled the team.

The Summaries:

Singles--Ager (H) defeated Sheehan (BC), 6-2, 6-0; Bullard (H) defeated Ginty (BC) 6-2, 6-0; Ames (H) defeated Davidson (BC) 6-0, 6-0; Hughes (H) defeated Doane (BC) 6-0, 6-0; Frey (H) defeated Mahoney (BC) 6-0, 6-0; Robb (H) defeated Lawlor (BC) 6-0, 6-1.

Doubles--Ager and Bullard (H) defeated Shochan and Mahoney (BC) 6-4, 6-3; Ames and Hughes (H) defeated Ginty and Doane (BC) 6-1, 6-2; Key and Zinsser (H) defeated Lawlor and Davidson (BC) 6-0, 6-3.

Team Meets Amherst

This afternoon at Amherst the team will play its third game of the week, and chances are that it will be the toughest.

The Lord Jeffs are many levels above BU and BC, treating tennis as a formal sport and finding ample practice time for it. Coach Jack Barnaby is looking for a close match, and the chances are he will find it.
