When Gary Reiner and Jim Levy won the number three doubles to give Harvard its upset victory over Princeton Friday, the first person out on the court to congratulate them was a gray-haired man in a rumpled suit--66-year-old outgoing coach Jack Barnaby.
Senior Jim Levy led the upset with victories in singles and doubles (paired with Gary Reiner) competition, while Kevin Shaw, Todd Lundy and Danny Waldman all won clutch singles matches.
The match, then, boiled down to the doubles competition. If the Crimson could take one of the three doubles, it would be the owner of the biggest Eastern League upset in recent years.
The win came quickly. Playing at number three, seniors Levy and Reiner secured the first victory over Princeton in their college careers with a 6-1, 6-2 win over Hayes and Joe Krakora. Princeton romped in the two remaining doubles matches, but by then it was academic.
The other doubles team, Andy Okamura and Katherine Fulton, lost their first round to a contingent from Brown, but entered the consolation tournament and won it, beating an entry from Dartmouth, 6-3, 4-6, 6-3.
