Harvard's freshman netmen yesterday whipped Brown, 7-2, for their second victory in less than a week. They bombed Curry College, 8-1, last Thursday in their season opener.
John Thornton and Jim Levy led the team to the home-court win with decisive 6-1, 6-0 and 6-2, 6-0 victories. Thornton is the number one man and Levy the number two man on the freshman tennis team.
Jim Black, Dave Chase and Bill Cole also won their singles matches, with only number six man Jeff Golan going down to defeat.
Thornton and Bob Stockman, who form the squad's top doubles team, won their match 2-6, 7-5, 6-3. Coach Corey Wynn '40, said Thornton and Stockman have been playing together for a couple of years already, and look like they will be a strong duo all season long.
Dave Chase and Tucker Boynton lost a close match, 6-4, 4-6, 5-7. The third-ranked doubles squad, Andy Caster and Andy Woolworth, won its match on a tie-breaker.
"It looks like a very promising team," Wynn said. "They're getting off to a fine start." He pointed out, however, that the team has not yet faced its toughest competition, which should come from Princeton in the last match of the season.
With an eye to the future, Wynn pointed out, "There are some good players on the freshman squad who will be very good on the varsity in a couple of years."
