Captain Bobby Seals will not be running today. Seals injured an achilles tendon in practice recently, and coach Pappy Hunt does not want to use him until his ailment heals...
Dartmouth coach John Kenfield hasn't really had a stable singles ladder all spring so individual matchups are in question. But three veterans, senior Tim Greist and juniors Geoff Dyer and Jock McKernan, are almost positive bets to take up the first three spots in singles with senior captain Dave Burwell, senior Jon Mueller and junior Ed Cranch playing in the 4, 5, and 6 slots.
