PHIL LIGHT Behind the pitching of Jack Smart, the Division baseball team opened the home season by whipping Dartmouth's varsity nine. The Metheny coached team continued their winning form with triumphs over Richmond Professional I nstitute, the Navy Plebes, the Medical College of Virginia and others. Mel Gottlieb, Leonard Ellis, Dick Butler, Tom Downing, Walter Forbes, and Tom Wilson played the best ball for the Braves. In spite of the many fine perform -ances turned in by Captain George Morecock, Gerry Bryant, Bud Early, Dave Hogg, and Ron Shelin, the tennis team lost most of their matches against top-notch competition.
