Harvard's injury report has changed only a little. Ken Lindner, who played over the weekend with a pinched nerve in his shoulder, seems much improved. However, co-captain have Fish, sidelined with a bad elbow, seems out for the season. "He hit some today, and the minute he hit a backhand his arm hurt," coach John Barnaby said yesterday. "I think he's seriously injured. For his own good he should forget it for the season and give his arm a good cure," he added. A former number-two player, Fish and sophomore Gardie Rowbotham won the ECAC Division...
Meanwhile, Colson's younger brother Dean and Ken Lindner were fighting an epic match at the second spot, and Randy Barnett was extending Princeton's Rich Rampell into a third set at number five. The tension was palpable and altogether familiar as the advantage swung to Rampell, who took the set and the match, 7-6, 3-6, 6-3, and to Colson, who rallied from two points down in the final tie breaker to edge Lindner...
...Ingard and Nielsen couldn't hold together at the last, and the Princeton twosome won the final set, 6-4, giving the Tigers the fifth point they needed for the match. Moments later Masterson and Lindner, playing brilliantly, rallied to take a second set tie-breaker from the feline Colson brothers and broke them in the third to earn a magnificent 6-7, 7-6, 6-3 triumph. Sadly Barnett and Loring had beaten Rampell and Doug Shaeffer at third doubles, 6-3, 7-6, making Harvard's near miss all the more frustrating...
Harris Masterson was off his game at first singles, and lost to freshman Rick Fagel in straight sets. Ken Lindner had lost two days of practice due to a pinched serve, and he lost to Columbia captain Doug Gruenther, 6-7, 6-3, 6-2. "My shoulder didn't bother me during the match, except possibly psychologically," Lindner said after his match, but Barnaby decided not to play him in doubles...
...Colson brothers will be tough to beat at first doubles, especially if Lindner's shoulder is still bothering him, but Harvard should have the edge at second and third doubles against Shapiro and Rabinowitz and Rampell and Doug Shaeffer...
