M. Tennis Perfect Against Penn State; Blakes Goes 2-0

Though they were novices at the collegiate level, Lee and Swart did not seem at all nervous on the court.

Lee neatly put Penn State's Jamie Gresh away by a score of 6-4, 6-1. Swart's match against Penn's McCallister took a bit longer. In the longest match of the day, Swart won, 6-2, 3-6, 7-5.

Although Blake posed for pictures with the many children who had come to the club to see him and his Crimson teammates, he was not the most famous tennis personality in attendance.

Tennis announcer Bud Collins took in most of the singles play and chatted with locals around the center. Collins has been a supporter of the Sportsmen's Club for over thirty years.

"I have been involved with the Club for some time, and I wanted to see Blake play," Collins said. "Whenever Harvard plays, I always take the time to get out and see them."

Although Blake was triumphant today, Collins claims he has a winning record against the phenom.

"I played James last year in a mixed-doubles benefit, and I beat him 2-1," Collins said. "I can't let him forget that."

The Crimson, minus Collins, plays next at Old Dominion on March 13.
