Playing in 94-degree weather with no breeses, Yale's Mike Nesty triumphed over Harvard's Frank Ripley in the singles final and then paired with teammate Bob Hetherington to beat Ripley and Crimson captain Paul Sullivan in the doubles...

...remainder of the lineup, it will be Doug Walter (H) against Stu Ludlum; Gary Adelmna against Denny Lynch; Keith Martin against Bob Archer. The doubles combos aren't set yet, but will probably include Sullivan-Ripley against Neely-Hetherington; Neiderhoffer-Bob Inman against Howe-Lynch, and Adelman-John Vinton against Ludlum-Tony Brooks...
