...afraid a little change will knock out the whole base of the system--will set off a chain reaction of liberalism...
What is surprising is that McEnroe has come so far so fast matched against such opposition. He has beaten the likes of Roscoe Tanner, Adriano Panatta, Eddie Dibbs and Corrado Barazzutti and on one glorious occasion even managed to knock off Borg, 6-3, 6-4, in Stockholm, of all places.

Although the Crimson shocked the Tigers at Hemenway three years ago, Princeton came back the following year and humiliated the Crimson last winter, 8-1. Fish and his racquetmen hope to change all that when they travel to the Tiger courts on February...
