No one on the varsity tennis team lost a set Saturday as the Crimson coasted to a 9-0 victory over Amherst in Cambridge.
Doug Walter, number four, won the quickest match of the day, romping over Bob Guthrie, 6-1, 6-0. Frank Ripley, who may be the best number two man in the Eastern Intercollegiate Teams League, whipped Jack Levine 6-0, 6-3, and Vic Niederhoffer defeated Tom Poor by the same score.
Sullivan Wins
Captain and number one player Paul Sullivan downed Ken Cousens 6-2, 6-3; Chauncey Steele, number five, tripped John Saphier, 6-4, 6-0, and Dean Peckham downed J. R. Williams in the number six match, 6-1, 6-4.
Sullivan and Steele, playing their first intercollegiate doubles match together, routed Levine and Cousens 6-2, 6-2. In the number two doubles match Bob Inman and Peckham crushed Poor and John Ransmeir 6-1, 6-3, and Mike Tarre and Alan Terrell beat Peter Kleinman and Charles Philips, 6-1, 6-2.
Sweep for Crimson
In matches that didn't count towards the team score, Sandy Walker, Inman, John Vinton, and Jim Gustafson all beat their Amherst opponents in straight sets and Gustafson and Mike Belknap won their doubles match.
The team has a week off now before traveling to Philadelphia to play Pennsylvania. Last year, Harvard clobbered Penn 9-0, but the Quakers have swept their last three matches by shutouts and should give the Crimson a good fight.
