Bowditch's principal rivals for the singles title will be men he has already beaten this year--Williams' Clyde Buck. Dartmouth's Ron Picket, Yale's Ralph Howe. Other possibilities are Peyton Howard of Brown. Yale's Bob Hetherington, and the Crimson's own Paul Sullivan, who played some of his best tennis of the year in defeating Hetherington in the Harvard-Yale match Wednesday...
