T E N N I S First Row, left to right: Minot, Pierce, Capt. Butler, Churchill, Harkness. Second Row: M. Chace, Kissel, Howard, Baker, Mr. Koehler. The ability to play throughout the season is perhaps as rare as it is valuable. It is un- fortunately the one aspect of the game which the team, as a whole, did not display with excellence throughout the season. Individually: Captain-elect Charlie Pierce: A little short on stamina, Charlie came through with mag- nificent matches against St. George's and M.I.T., but found the sun too helpful to the oppo- nent in some others. Fred Churchill: One of the finest match-players the school has ever had, Fred consistently found enough courage to offset any superiority in stroke his opponent had and worked his way up from number four to number one at the end of the season. Bill Minot: Although his opponents are no longer deceived by a frame usually accompany- ing slowness of foot and reaction, Bill still out-duelled most of them from the baseline. Captain Butler: Continually striving to keep his serve under control, Fred mastered it Sulli- ciently to achieve one of the better singles records on the team, playing mostly at four. Tito Harkness: Hindered a little in doubles by slowness in getting started, Tito steadily improved his groundstrokes to develop into a strong number live by the end of the season. Thorny Kissel: Playing much of the season at number live, Thorny had trouble with a few basic flaws in his stroke. With plenty of time to work them out he should develop into a line tennis player. Dick Keyes: Finishing up the season at number six, after a long lay-off, Dick displayed fine consistency in his groundstrokes. Todd Baker: Playing at third doubles, after sitting out the early part of the season with a bad back, was consistently effective with his big serve. Rick Howard: Another late developer, Rick beat several tough players to make number six for the Middlesex match.
