The varsity tennis team will try to come back from last week's crushing defeat at Princeton tomorrow afternoon in Providence, when its takes an a mediocre Brown squad. The once-beaten Crimson should pick up its thirteenth victory of the season.
At number one singles, Bob Bowditch, who absorbed his first loss of the regular season against Princeton's Drayton Nabers last Saturday, will face Brown junior Peyton Howard. Howard defeated Bowditch last year, after dropping the first set at 0-6, but the Crimson star has been playing well this year and is quite capable of winning.
Paul Sullivan and Doug Walter will fill the second and third singles spot for the Crimson, as they have since early in the season, but the singles line-up has been shaken up in the next three positions. Captain Pete Smith, who had been playing at number four, has been dropped to number six after a series of intra-squad test matches, and Keith Martin and Gary Adelman move up a notch to four and five, respectively.
The Bruins, who have lost by lopsided scores to Williams and Dartmouth (both teams that the Crimson has defeated), should not give the varsity too much trouble, unless it suffers a severe let down. The Crimson travels to Penn Monday, before closing the season against Yale at home next Wednesday.
