Jimmy Connors? Brian Gottfried? Bjorn Borg? They should live so long. The tireless champ is Clarence Chaffee, 75, who dominates U.S. grass and clay courts in the 75-and-over division, and was winning matches when the parents of today's stars were in diapers. Chaffee, the retired tennis, squash and soccer coach at Williams College (Mass.), is one of the most remarkable of the 1,200 or so Super-Seniors-players who are at least 55 years old and still compete in tournament tennis.

"Between Two Moons," choreographed by Harvard senior Andy Borg as his thesis, is a subtle satire. Three harlequins meet on what appears to be an empty city street at night. The figures come swirling together, "sharing energies" as Borg puts it, only to unmask themselves after the encounter and whirl apart. In "Plot," more obvious parody accompanies a more explicit depiction of the relationships between the characters. A pair of female clowns performs whenever a male clown, shod in huge flippers...
...through Sunday nights at the Hasty Pudding theater. The concert pulls together the work of the company's first year, including dances choreographed by Jack Moore and Liz Rosner, guest instructors with the Harvard-Radcliffe Dance Program, by three outside students with the program, and by Harvard senior Andrew Borg...
