The team has not been defeated in the last two years and has won fourteen consecutive matches. Although there were no outstanding players on the team, the squad played consistent tennis and defeated all opposil tion. A ten-game schedule was arranged but due to rain only tive matches were played, The K. C. Q. S. team opened their schedl ule against our neighborly rivals, the Kirksville Teachers College, and the Rams emerged victorious by a -P1 score. The following week the team journeyed to Des Moines, Iowa, and played the Des IvIoinesfSt1ll Qsteopathic College. This match was merely a workout for the K. C. C. S. team and they won by a 6nscore. Culverffitockton of Canton, Nlissouri, furnished the next opposition for KC. O. S. and they were defeated in a hard fought contest by a 3,2 score. The Kirksville Teachers again played the Rams and were defeated Ysfl. The Rams then journeyed to Canton, Missouri, and played CulverfStockton College. This match was again closely contested but the Rams were victorious by a Bfl score. Members of the varsity team were: Fisher, Kenega, Wi1't, Porter, Waiteits and Farnum. Roy Fisher, a senior, played brilliant but somewhat erratic tennis all season. Fisher, however, when he was right, was the hardest man on the squad to defeat and he was outstanding in doubles play.

QS . Left to Rzglitf FISHER, WIRT, PORTER, FARNUM WATERS Rus Kenega, also a senior, did not play any singles matches but played a consist EDI game in doubles. Miic Wirt was perhaps the most cone sistent man on the squad. He played I1 hard driving game and much of the suc' cess of the 193-1 team depends on him. Porter, a sophomore, was playing man' ager. Although he did not play in many singles matches, he teamed with Fisher and they played as No. 1 doubles team. Earl Waters. a freshman, was perhaps the hardest driving player on the squad. Wiiters played with Brown University before he came to K. C. O. S. and much is expected of him during the next three years. Doran Farnum, also a freshman, was the only left handed player on the squad. He played a cool, well directed game and was at his best when the going was tough. So ended the tennis season for 1933. With four returning lettermen and sev- eral freshmen stars the outlook for 1934 is exceedingly bright, and the Rams hope to continue their unbroken string of vicf tories. PF-
