Things went just as well in the doubles. Washauer and Nielsen picked apart Johnson and Griffin at number one, 6-2, 6-3; Fish and Cavanagh breezed past Talbert and Warner, 6-1, 6-4, at two; and Brock and sophomore Rick Devereux upended Corkran and Bill Lukingbeal at three, 6-4, 6-4, to complete Harvard's second shutout of the season...
