Redheaded Rod ("Rocket") Laver, 23, raised puffs of chalk along the base line with his accurate overspin backhands.

Before every game this year, Yovicsin ended his chalk talks with three simple but vital words: "Seniors, take over." He would leave the locker room, and the seniors would communicate with the team as only they knew...
