Wheaton's J.V. team handed the Radcliffe J.V. a 4-2 defeat in its next-to-last match of the season yesterday afternoon. The 'Cliffe swingers were blown off the court in four singles matches before rallying to win the doubles in a strong wind storm at Wheaton.
In his absence, Winn's proteges did not fare so well. "We were dubious, just very dubious," said Terry Clarke. Playing at number one, Clarke succumbed to her opponent 10-5. The J.V. played ten-game pro sets because the racketwielders each had to play not only singles, but also...
But the doubles teams turned the tables on the Wheaton women. The team of Terry Clarke-Davenport won, 10-7, and Jane Clark-Cukier won 10-8.
The racquetmen won the match before the doubles even began by taking five of the six singles.
The two squads split the first two doubles matches. At number one, Waldman and Cliff Adler dropped a second-set tie-breaker to lose the match, but Shaw and Lundy crushed Bob Detrich and Steve Merchant at number two, 6-2, 6-2.
