Ufford, who had rung up a remarkable performance against Davidson Monday to upset the visitors, was way off his game yesterday. It took spectacular play by his teammate, Bill Goodman, to extend the deciding first doubles match to even three sets, but the North Carolina duo of Del Sylvia and Sam Handel made fewer mistakes in the end and won going away...
