Rueb, who went undefeated in EITA singles action, was a key force in bringing the EITA crown back to Cambridge, and his play should earn him a bid to the NCAA singles tournament, later this month. Also, he will, in all likelihood, team up with sophomore teammate Mitty Arnold in the doubles tournament. (Official bids have not yet been announced...

In 1993 she hired Hoffman's firm, which located him within a few weeks. She now receives $1,600 a month. "I don't mind paying their fee," she says. "I am certain Minnesota would never have...
