This morning the Harvard tennis team packs up its "Jack Kramer's" and a couple packs of coffee-flavored "nodozmints" and slides down to New Haven to play around with a bunch of rather untalented Bulldogs...
...Riva Ridge has any real challengers as a top three-year-old, they could be two colts who showed their speed too late to be entered in the Derby. One is his stablemate Upper Case, who recently trounced a bunch of Derby hopefuls in the Florida Derby and the Wood Memorial; the other is Quack, who forced two erstwhile top contenders out of the race at Churchill Downs by whipping them in the California Derby...
...little difficult to believe that any Academy team is that detached about a major championship in which it is an underdog, however slight.
