Harvard Defeats Williams Netmen

Harvard's tennis team downed Williams yesterday for its seventh straight victory, but not before dropping its first two individual matches of the year.

Richie Friedman, Harvard's number five player who has been playing in the clouds recently, suddenly came down to earth against Williams. Lofting his ground strokes more than usual, Friedman fell to Pete Grossman, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4.

Grossman teamed with Tom Thornhill, Williams's top player, to win the third doubles over Clive Kileff and Terry Robinson, 8-6, 6-3.

Harvard won the other seven matches. Chum Steele had little trouble at number one, but Dave Benjamin and Kileff were pushed to the limit in the second and third spots. Benjamin edged Pete Monroe, 6-0, 5-7, 7-5; Kileff defeated Bill Ewen, 6-1, 3-6, 6-4.
