Last year's Harvard-Princeton match was rained out and since almost no one remains from the 1959 Tiger squad, it is difficult to compare past performances. Princeton's number two man, Captain Tom Richardson, lost to Bob Bowditch in two easy sets while playing in the same position two years...
...Crimson took five of the six singles to clinch matters before the doubles play started. Bob Bowditch led the way for the varsity with a 6-3, 6-2 victory over Clyde Buck at first singles. All the other singles matches had begun before Bowditch arrived, bundled up in sweat suit and windbreaker, but he was the first man off the court. It was the fifth straight time he had beaten Buck in the past three years, and he might as well take the Williams man home and stuff him as a trophy...
With the match clinched and the presure off, Bowditch and Sullivan won a sloppy first doubles match, 6-3, 6-3, from Botts and Mahland. At second doubles, however, Smith and Bob Schwartxman lost to Buck and Brian, 7-5, 4-6, 6-2. Walter and Martin rounded out the Crimson victory with a 6-3, 4-6, 6-4 win over Shaw and Brooks Goddard...
...Bowditch, playing magnificently, and Sullivan reeled off seven straight games to take command of their match against Jim Biggs and Gordon Aydelott. Sullivan hit winners for the last four points and a 3-6, 6-2, 6-3 victory. With the doubles now tied at one-all, the match was decided in the third doubles, where Adelman and Pollen had won the first set, 6-2, but dropped the second, 4-6, to Phil Meyer and Doug Floren...
...first singles, Bowditch, the only man on either team to win both singles and doubles, had little trouble with Picket. Despite a weak second set, he pulled out the match 6-2, 2-6, 6-2. Sullivan and Biggs, at number two, had a wildly erratic match, with Biggs winning in an easy third set, 6-1, 1-6, 6-0. Doug Walter at number three picked up the Crimson's first point in the afternoon's quickest match, beating Aydelott...
