Netmen Victorious; Shutout Williams

The varsity tennis team upped its record to 11-1 yesterday with an easy 10-0 victory oven an outgunned Williams squad at the Palmer Dixon Courts.

"They simply didn't have the firepower to challenge us," coach Jack Barnaby said last night. "We were really in command all the way."

In fact, the Crimson lost but two sets during the entire day. Todd Lundy at number two lost his firs set. 6-3, but stormed back to demolish his Williams opponent with identical 6-0 scores, while Hugh Hyde at number five dropped his second set enroute to a 6-4, 3-6, 6-1 win.

"We knew that we had a definite edge, but we still had to play some good tennis to beat them," Barnaby said.

Gary Reiner, playing number one, won his match, 6-4, 6-2, and captain John Ingard took his by a 6-2, 6-4 margin to set the tone for the afternoon.

The Crimson netmen, who racked up its tenth victory last Saturday with a 7-2 trouncing of Brown, have suffered only one Eastern Intercollegiate Tennis Association defeat, that no league-leading Columbia. They will face defending champion Princeton in two weeks in a key EITA contest.

This Friday the team will hit the road, as it travels to Council for a Friday afternoon encounter, and then to Army on Saturday to take on a tough Cadet squad.
