As usual against the Indians, the Crimson will play a 15-point match, with only the first six singles and the top three doubles counting in the League records.
In the singles, Coach Jack Barnaby will use Ham Gravom, Brooks Harris, Alex Haegler, Captain John Rauh, Gene Mann, Donn Spencer, Don Bossart, Conrad Fischer, Herb Stone, and Terry King.

The Engineers couldn't take a set from the Crimson lineup, which included Steve Gottlieb, Cal Place, Ben Heckscher, Langdon Smith, Doug Gardner, and Barry Boehm. The doubles duos included Place and Heckscher, Smith and Gottlieb, and Charlie Edwards and Dwight Davis.
After the match, the Yardlings elected Gottlieb, a resident of Matthews Hall and New York City, as their 1954 captain.
