Kiss ' Farmer Drub Colo Racketeers tiorbdo, 5~ By HAROLD GANN i A&M’s varsity tennis team nexed its third 1950 win in as m _ starts yesterday drubbing the Uni versity of Colorado netmen, 5-1, in DeWare Field House. Previously scheduled for today on the clay courts, the match was staged in the gym after both coaches agreed to play indoors. In the feature match of the day R. G. DeBerry of the Aggies trimmed former DAhish Davis Cup star Peter Arendrup, 6-2, 6-;i. Arcndrup represented Denmark in 1947 Cup competition, playing sin gles and doubles. DdBeiTy changed his usual tac tics, ignoring a net attack to play a steady baseline game because Arcndrup turned aggressive at the outset with his cannon-ball ser vice and deadly drop volley. The court whirlwind’s strategy was to stay in the backcourt and let the Danish star rush the net and then pass him with down-the line shots. Duncan Dauntless A&M’s number two singles -man, Bobby Duncan, also change^ his Into an offensive pattern In featirtg Robert Ascel), 6- Duncap played a forcing ga: hitting svery ball with previr ly unshewn vigor that caused opponent to err if Ascell got racket on the ball. Royce Tate, number three singles playeV lor the Aggies, relied on steady >ackcourt play to defeat Scott Smith, 6-0, 7-5. Tate Wins Only Love Set The fi|i-st set was a breather f^r Tate ; as Smith didn’t become customed to the court until second chapter.
