The Penn State tennis team smashed into the win column with a decisive 9-0 victory
over the Duquesne University netters Saturday on the University Courts.

was impressive. Duquesne netters failed to win a set throughout the match and only two
went over eight games.
Dick Robinson started things off on the right note as he pounded out a 6-0 decision in
the opening set' of his match with •
the Hilltoppers' number one man;
Fred Khorey. Khorey came back
in the second. however, and took
a 5-2 lead in games before Robin

games, the final set 7-5, and the

Landon Nips Black
Lew Landon had less ease in
capturing his initial set but he
finally came through with a close
8-6 win over Duquesne's promis
ing sophomore Charlie Black. Af
ter getting by the opener, Landon
had little trouble in the second as
he downed the lanky Duke, 6-2.
Bill Ziegler remained unbeaten
in match competition as he de
feated John Demangone, playing
in the third spot for the Pitts
burghers - He disposed of Deman
gone in straight sets 6-2, 6-1. Bruz
Ray, who unexpectedly appeared
in the number four position, had
little difficulty as he pounded out
a love match over the . Dukes'

were the only _double shutouts

auspicious debut, trimming the
