Varsity Netmen To Play Tigers Here Tomorrow

The Crimson tennis team will play host to powerful Princeton tomorrow at 1 p.m. on the Soldiers' Field courts, but the Tigers may well turn out to be unwelcome guests. The varsity will go into the match with a clean Eastern League record, yesterday having swamped Brown, 8 to 1.

"We'll be up for them," coach Jack Barnaby said last night. Indeed the visitors rate this concern. Princeton blanked the varsity, 9 to 0, last Spring, and lost only one of its top six players through graduation.

Captain Dale Junta will probably play, unless his back injury bothers him too much, but his opponent will be Jim Farrin, who beat him in three sets last year. Farrin has improved greatly since then, with a win over Australian Davis Cupper Neale Fraser.

The Tigers are strong all the way down the line-up. They have Dave Breckner, Jeff Arnold, John McLean, and Rudy Ruddick, all of whom defeated Crimson opponents last year.

The varsity, however, is not far behind. Starting with Junta will be Larry Sears, Tim Gallwey, Ned Weld, Allen Goldman, Fred Vinton, Bill Wood, Petc Krogh, Laurie Pratt, Jim Cameron, Dick Chute, and Denny Briggs.

With only three losses this season, all of them by one point, the Crimson will be ready to prove that it should have a spotless record. If yesterday's match with previously unbeaten Brown is any indication of varsity strength, the Princeton contest will be very close.

Battling the fierce wind off the Charles as well as the Crimson netmen, the Bruins never had a chance. Brown lost all of the singles and the first two doubles in straight sets, salvaging only the third doubles match, a long three-set affair.

The summary:Sears (H) d. Callaway, 6-4, 6-1, Gallwey (H) d. Crockwell, 6-1, 6-0; Weld (H) d. Bullock, 6-3, 6-4; Goldman (H) d. Flatteau, 6-1, 6-2; Vinton (H) d. Seward, 6-0, 6-0; Wood (H) d. Sprendkel, 6-1, 9-7; Gallwey and Vinton (H) d. Bullock and Crockwell, 6-1, 6-3; Weld and Wood (H) d. Seward and Sprenkel, 6-1, 6-1; and Callaway and Flatteau (B) d. Briggs and Chute, 6-4, 4-6, 6-4
