Four of the Navy's six 1977 starters have graduated (Eastern League matches consist of six singles, three doubles matches) leaving coach Bobby Bayliss with a talented but inexperienced crop that has already dropped a pair of one-sided decisions to Columbia and Penn.
Both squad's doubles teams have performed inconsistently so far this spring, so if the Crimson wants to insure the victory, they must handle Navy decisively in the singles matches, which are played first.
The doubles pairings of Andy Chaikovsky-Lundy, Kevin Shaw-Scott Walker, and Greg Kirsch-Don Pompan (or Bob Horn with Pompan injured) have not jelled yet this year.
"The way the doubles develop will more than likely determine the outcome of the season," junior veteran Chaikovsky said yesterday.
The area where the Crimson could get smoked worst is doubles. Doubles matches--played after the singles--have traditionally been a Harvard strong point. If a Harvard tennis team went into the doubles with the score three-apiece, the match was theirs. This year may be different.
