Only four let- termen, all seniors, were on the team. The rackermen took it on the chin in the season opener from experienced Muncie South. Wins over Huntington, Elwood, and South Adams advanced the singles record of senior Hal Oberholzer to 4-0. BHS found defending CIC champ Peru a bit rough and lost the match. Always tough Muncie Burris won every match to win overall. Big school power Marion downed the Bruins, but CIC foe Alexandria made the record a lot sweeter--the BHS netmen won, 6-1. Powerhouses Muncie Central, one of the state's larger schoolsg Bluffton, the area's strongest '69 teamg and Wabash, a CIC foe that always gives the Bruins fits, racked up wins over the Bruins in the amounts of 4-3, 7-0, and 7-0, re- spectively.
