Playing in his first varsity match, sophomore Curley dropped his first set to Stone 6-3. After Curley reversed that score to capture the second set 6-3, the pair traded six service breaks before the score reached 6-6 in the critical third set. Then, at 4-4 in the tie-breaker, Curley, unable to put away three previous match points, set a low backhand volley down the center of court which jammed Stone on his forehand side.

...they call "Beaver" will have another pair of moments of truth tonight in the 100 free and the final, apocalyptic relay. In both races, O'Hara will accompany the Tigers' renowned crop of freestyle specialists (probably Alan Fine, Saltzman, and Howard Nelson) to the medals stand. The only question is exactly where they will stand...
