Jack Cryan, a slim Senior Scienceman whose powerful strokes and cannonball service belie his thin appearance. Cryan was one of the shining lights for Brennan in an otherwise dismal season in 1947. Another letterman from whom Brennan expects big things is Howie Norchi. With a season of hard play behind him, Norchi should come into his own according to his bespectacled mentor. Other 1947 members who are sporting the Green and White colors around the various tennis courts this Spring are Stan Spodaryk, Joe Camilli, Joe Nash, Winslow Souther, Bob Anderson and the versatile Chuck Riker. The last named made up Manhattan ' s best doubles combination last Spring. 1948 TENNIS SCHEDULE April lA Pratt Institute Home 16 Adelphi Garden City 1 7 Alumni Home 21 Queens Home 23 Kings Point Home 28 Brooklyn Brooklyn 30 Rut£;ers (Newark) Newark May 1 Upsala East Orange 7 Fordham Fordham 8 St. Peter ' s Jersey City 12 Brooklyn Poly Home 14 C.

' I ' HE most ambitious schedule that has - - e er been undertaken by a Manhattan tennis team faced tlie netters this Spring with fourteen matches on tap. Leading off with Pratt on April 14, the Kelly-Green en- gaged at least two foes every week until the final date on May 19 against Temple at Philadelphia. Starting their second post-war season un- der the coaching guidance of Matthew Bren- nan, who doubles m brass as a biology in- structor, the racquet men should unpro e on the mediocre record posted last year. In 1947. Brennan had his troubles with inexperienced members and no place to play being the major problems among a host of others. The result was one victory, six losses and one tie in eight encounters. However, this year it should be a different story. Although the team still lacks the lustre and polish needed for a championship club, the Jaspers have no less than eight members back from last season. Heading the li.st of returnees is captain Varsity Tennis Group mmr • I ■- ' ■■ ' I 279
