...tennis gentility. While S.D.S. demonstrators chanted outside that the Davis Cup was a "function of the capitalist pigs," the Americans charged that the Rumanians were "rude," and the Rumanians accused court officials of making "strange calls." The matches themselves verged on farce. The U.S. team of Arthur Ashe, Bob Lutz and Stan Smith so thoroughly overpowered the Rumanians that in the final set of the fifth match, with Ashe leading Ion Tiriac 4-0, the Rumanian star walked off the court without finishing rather than miss a scheduled flight to Washington...
With Graebner and Arthur Ashe, both of whom have bested some of the world's top pro players in the past year, and Stan Smith and Bob Lutz, who own almost every national amateur doubles title, the U.S. boasted its strongest Davis Cup team since it last won the trophy five years ago.

Harvard got more scoring punch from Lutz Hoeppner and Scott Robertson the next Saturday against Princeton to win, 4-2, setting the stage for a showdown with defending champion Brown...
