Dave Benjamin had a little more trouble of number two, but edged persistent Craig Flager, 6-4, 9-7. Harvard swept the rest of the matches with relative ease: Live Kileff (three) blitzed Mark Green, 6-1, 6-2: Captain Dean Peckham (four) momentarily lost concentration against Bill Swift, and then bashed him in three sets, 6-2, 3-6, 6-1; merciless Richie Friedman (five) wiped Joe Friedman, 6-2, 6-1: Terry Robinson (six) downed John Nerenberg...

This spring Swift Ruler's trainer shipped him to Oaklawn Park, a very low-class track in Arkansas. He won four races with case, and seemed to prefer long distances, though his wins came against rotten opposition...
