For a full month he had seen the Crown Counsel, witness by witness, put together a damning picture of the murder of his friend, Josslyn Victor Hay, 22nd Earl of Erroll (TIME, March...
...most disheartening individual loss for the Crimson was Captain Sonny Lyell's defeat at the hands of New England intercollegiate champion Bob Freedman. Lyell, playing his best of the season, had two match points on his oponents only to lose in three long drawn-out sets...
