Facing each other in the circle are two Brazilians, Purple Shirt No. 5 and Breaker-of-Iron, both rhythmically undulating while a berimbau quavers. Suddenly, Purple Shirt drops on his hands and kicks one foot out in the bencao, aiming at Breaker's ribs. Breaker fades into a negativa, slumping smoothly backward onto one hand and one foot as the blow whistles harmlessly past, then lashes out in the hammer, his foot aimed at Purple Shirt's groin. What does Purple Shirt do? Why, he cartwheels away, smiling, and then both resume the ginga as the tambourines jingle...
Finally, it was 6-6 in games, and Loeb quickly ran up a 4-2 lead in the tie-breaker. Triple match point. One Loeb winner and Penn would still be alive. The winner never came.

Moments later Masterson and Lindner, playing brilliantly, rallied to take a second set tie-breaker from the feline Colson brothers and broke them in the third to earn a magnificent 6-7, 7-6, 6-3 triumph. Sadly Barnett and Loring had beaten Rampell and Doug Shaeffer at third doubles, 6-3, 7-6, making Harvard's near miss all the more frustrating...
