Ball--who also received an opening-round bye--smashed Soli Mata, 3-1, and then Mehmad Nathini by the same count.

However, like Pandole. Ball fell in the quarterfinals, losing to Princeton's Jeff Stanley, 12-15, 15-13, 15-9, 15-18, 15-13. Stanley is the top ranked amateur player in the country.

The Crimson, which first took the USSRA title in 1925, has won the national five-man championships nine times.
