Number eight and nine, senior Chris Gabrieli and freshman Tal Johnson, pulled off four-game triumphs. Gabrieli lost the second game of his match, 17-15, but went on to clinch the win with a 18-16 fourth-game victory.

And this big lunk of a professor, a guy about my age, he only stood about six foot six, he came over and took one of my horse drawings up to the front of the class and started ridiculing it. I said, 'If you like to ride my tail so much, why don't you come outside and fight me?' I was kicked out of school. A recalcitrant, they said...
