Adams' r'n'c'1'1fr,f. Ollie flanks will very likely play number one again. Ile has more experience than anyone else on the team, but he is very erratic. lust how often his game is on this year will have a lot to do with the success of the team. The situation in the next three positions is very indefinite. Bill Adams and Captain Iohn Van de Graaff were fairly well set in the second and third spots respectivelyg then jonny Narcus switched back from crew and since then has beaten every one in the top five except Van de Graaff, whom he hasn't played. Thus it is conceivable that Narcus could end up even playing number one. ln positions five and six the picture becomes relative- ly clear. Art Mason and last year's manager, Bud Gruenberg, are pretty well set there. One quality that this team has in abundance is depth. The bottom two men are capable of giving anyone in the top four a real run for his money. This should pay off particularly in the matches where we play six singles. The tentative doubles setups are as follows, a week before the first match: Adams-Van de Graaff, Banks- Mason, and Narcus-Gruenberg, in that order. We have stressed doubles a good deal this spring. so it should definitely be one of our strong points. There are three essentials for success in any sport: good material, good coaching, and good spirit. This team possesses all three in abundanceg therefore we look with confidence for a successful and rewarding season. N arcnr at net. Hun ks arm' 'cm
