When the Harvard tennis team meets Yale tomorrow afternoon, it will be seeking its twenty-eighth consecutive victory. In the 1928 season, it won its last two contests: it was undefeated in 13 matches last year, and it has won 11 consecutive encounters this Spring.
It has not yet been decided whether M. T. Hill '31 or W. L. Breese '31 will play at number one against the Elis. Each has been at that position in several matches; last Wednesday, against M. I. T. Hill was number one. Although there are no great stars upon the team, it is one of the best balanced in the country; only D. M. Frame '32, playing for the most part at number four or five, has been undefeated in all of the 11 matches. Last Spring, too, he was undefeated captain of the 1932 Freshman team.
Yale started its season rather poorly, losing one match on its Southern trip, to Navy, 5 to 4, and being defeated about a month ago by the same score at the hands of New York University. It has, however, improved greatly since then, defeating M. I. T., 8 to 1, Lehigh, 7 to 2, Amherst, 9 to 0, Wesleyan, 8 to 1, Dartmouth, 8 to 1, and Princeton, 6 to 3. Its two leading players are Ryan and Luce, both Juniors, the later of whom was star on the hockey team. They, as Hill and Breese, have been alternating in number one position, and have been winning consistently. Judging from individual comparative scores, the match should be very close, with Harvard a slight favorite.
The Freshman team, which also meets Yale tomorrow, is continuing its winning streak into its second undefeated season.
