The tennis team is highly favored to sweep the singles and maybe even the doubles this afternoon at three o'clock at M.I.T.'s modern courts.

We have better players than M.I.T. and more of them," observed coach Jack Barnaby. He plans to rest his crack doubles teams and to substitute less experienced players this afternoon to give them a chance to prove themselves in a relatively easy meet.

The team is probably not quite as strong at the top as last year's, but has greater depth, Barnaby noted. Captain Sullivan, slated number one, falls somewhat short of last season's Bob , and Vic Niederhoffer, number two man, is still only a sophomore. But of good younger players has seen that "some people who won letters last year aren't quite in the running this year."

New Combinations

Such combinations as John Wylde and Gustafson, Bob Inman and John all new men, will probably replace the usual doubles teams of Sullivan and number four man Frank Ripley, or Niederhoffer and Sam Edelman, number

The Crimson is favored over all its opponents this year except Princeton, and none of the matches is likely to be a walkaway. Yale and Dartmouth particularly ought to be very close, and even Columbia should offer more of a challenge than in past years.
