The 1931 men's tennis team became just the third program in Caltech Athletics to claim a SCIAC Championship. The Beavers ran the table with a perfect 6-0 record that included three shutouts and two narrow 5-4 victories over four-time defending champion Occidental College and undefeated Pomona College in the season finale. Robert "Bob" Allen of the Los Angeles Tennis Club, at the time a premier development center for aspiring professionals, served as head coach while junior L.B. Behlow occupied the top spot in the lineup for the second consecutive year, although depth proved to be the key in carrying Caltech through to the title.
