Show TENNIS SEASON.-. *§duo tightened and pulled through to a hard fought victory by taking the next three sets. Holt and Gilchrist evened the count for the "Y" by out-steadying Crone and Freed in a four-set tangle. Crone appeared erratic and was unable to settle down in his singles match against Holt and the Provo ace marched through to a straight set win in the third contest of the day. Blevins retaliated by trouncing Dixon in a spectacular match featured by the powerful driving and smashing of the Ute captain. Lew Munk won the match for the Cougars in the lone singles event when he kicked the dope bucket in the middle by snatching a five-set verdict from Hayden after a three and a half hour's struggle. With the sets at two-all, Munk took a five-game lead in the deciding set. Hayden opened up with a slashing cross-court attack which was good for six games in a row but the effort proved too much of a strain on the Ute veteran and Munk ran out the next three games and the match at 8-6 to give Hayden his first defeat in three years of lone singles competition. The Utes entertained the Aggies in their second match on the home courts and succeeded in breaking even in the doubles and winning two of the singles events for a 3-2 win. Blevins and Forsberg had little trouble in downing Lund, Johnson and Saxer in straight sets and Blevins won the feature match against Captain Johnson with hard drives to the corners of the court. Freed and Inge-bretsen won the first set of their match against Cowley and Christensen but the Aggies took the next three by 6-4 scores while Cannon was defeating Crone in the lone singles. Dave Freed hit his stride in his singles match against Cowley and came through to an unexpected victory to put the Logan team out of the running for states honors. Both men played cautiously but Freed's accurate placements kept the Aggie star on the defensive throughout the tilt.CHARLES BLEVINSSingles and Doubles 1928 Tennis Captain1927 SQUAD, STATE CHAMPIONSâ€"BLEVINS, HAYDEN, IRVINE, CRONE, INGEBRETSEN |
