Having secured every team title in sight, Harvard's varsity racquetmen face Penn and Navy challenges in a quest for individual honors this weekend at the national intercollegiates at West Point.

The Crimson completed an undefeated, 10-0 season against Yale on Tuesday and clinched the Ivy League and Intercollegiate team titles for the third consecutive year.

Today six Harvard racquetmen will battle for three individual championships and a six-man composite crown. Each collegiate squad will enter its top two players in a single-elimination "A" tournament, its next two players in a "B" tournament, and the final pair in a "C" tournament. Each individual victory contributes a point to the team standings.

Heavily Favored

The Crimson should be heavily favored this year to win most of the intercollegiate honors. Harvard has not lost a match this season at three, four, five or six. The only loss at two came when captain Dave Fish was absent, and the Crimson's number one, Peter Briggs, was defeated only once.

Since the Crimson did not lose a single point this winter to any team other than Penn and Navy, only the Middies and the Quakers are realistic contenders for the team title.

Single-Point Edge

In the first two years under this format. Harvard has dominated the tournament and won five of the six individual trophies. Two years ago Harvard advanced five players into the three finals. Last year Penn and Harvard had all six finalists, and the Quakers edged the Crimson by a single point in the team competition.

Harvard's most formidable entry should be in the "B" and "C" tournaments. Andy Weigand and Dan Gordon alternated at three and four this season, so the two Crimson racquetmen could be ranked one and two in the "B" competition.

Senior Alan Quasha, who was the number one seed in the "C" tournament last year, is undefeated at five and should once again receive the top ranking. Number six, Neil Vosters, is also undefeated, and although he may trail some number fives on other squads, he should be seeded as one of the top four entrants.

Because fours are randomly pitted against threes (and fives against sixes), the draw at the Intercollegiates is a very influential factor. If Harvard's number four doesn't face Penn or Navy's three for our six against their five) in the opening rounds, all four Crimson racquetmen should advance into Saturday's semifinals.

No Favorite

For the first time in years, no one collegiate player rates as a favorite for the prestigious "A" championship. Every collegiate player has lost at least one match during the season.

Harvard's Peter Briggs should be ranked number one in the division. Briggs has lost only to Penn's Palmer Page in a five-game, overtime decision. Page, who has lost to Briggs, William's Ty Griffin and Navy's Perry, could be ranked as low as fourth.
