...University tennis team gained its 11th victory of the season yesterday afternoon by blanking M. I. T. 6-0. Four of the matches were easily won by the Crimson players in straight sets, but the first two contests were strenuous three-set battles. The match between Captain G. W. Helm '20 and H.

In fact it is more than likely that the University relay race, as the last event, will determine the winner. The very nature of a triangular meet like this means excitement in practically every event, for while one college may be outclassed in a particular race, there...
