Yale (3-6) looks almost as strong as Princeton as they sport the winners of the national indoor doubles--Matt Doyle and Cary Leeds--a host of talented veterans, and a strong freshman crop.

There's catch, though. Harvard will be sky-high for the match at New Haven, because of (1) Yale's 5-4 upset last year, and (2) some less-than-nice feelings the Crimson harbors about Eli coach Steve Griggs.

Lion's Snarl

Columbia is a gem as well. Sophomore Eric Fromm returns from an unbeaten (16-0) frosh season, and coach Butch Seewagen has added two Australian freshmen stars to an already powerful roster. Some serious team dissension this spring could keep the Lions from winning the crown.

Penn also rebounds from a strong recruiting year, with freshman star Murray Robinson leading the Quakers' dark-horse hopes. Navy, today's opponent, has already put themselves out of the race with two losses.

Dartmouth and Army could play spoiler roles, but Brown and Cornell--a couple of patsies--will be despoiled.

"Princeton and Yale are both really strong, and Columbia's good, too," Lundy said this week, "but we can win it."

"It's definitely gonna be tough," "The Doctor" continued, "and I'm not saying we're going to beat both Princeton and Yale, but we certainly can beat both teams."

Stealing a quote from legendary ex-Harvard coach Jack Barnaby, Lundy added, "It's just a question of who gets there first."
