While the third doubles squad of Palandjian and Stanley dropped a 6-3, 6-2 decision, the second team of Peter Palandjian and Darryl Laddin was caught in a hair-raiser with Stanford's number two duo of Letts and Pat McEnroe (John's brother).

After the Cardinal picked up the first set, 6-3, the Crimson pair rallied back with a 6-1 victory in the second. However, Letts and McEnroe won a key service in the final set to drive to a 6-3 win.

The Stanford victory in second doubles prompted the retirement of the Cardinal's top doubles squad in the midst of the second set of the number one match.

"Freshman year, neither my partner or myself would have thought we'd be in a third set with the best team in the country," Peter Palandjian said. "But we have no intention of being fat cats--we want to go out after Brigham Young tomorrow."

The Crimson faces the Cougars this morning, in the hopes of earning a spot in tomorrow's final day of competition.

"The main thrust of our season is obviously the Ivy League season," Scott said, "but this is a bonus. These are the best college players in the country. Coming here, we have nothing to lose and everything to gain."
