Bridge Players Seeded High After Second-Round Victory

A team of Harvard students won its second-round match last Friday in the Eastern Massachusetts Bridge Association Team Championships, defeating the Chester Davis team 86 International Match Points (IMP) to 70.

The six-member group of John Lusky (captain), Art Weiss, Ferget McCaw, Jeff Klemm, Mike Goldman, and Dan Raider recorded its second consecutive victory in the double-elimination knockout tournament. The Lusky team defeated a foursome of General Electric analysis, 70 IMP's to 57, in the first round.

The Davis squad--led by Chester Davis '44--had been seeded second in the tournament. Under tournament rules, the Lusky team takes over the second seed with its victory.

"We were very surprised to win," Goldman said yesterday. "The Davis team has over 10,000 match points, while we have 120."

Match points can be accumulated only by winning matches in officially sanctioned tournaments.

A first-place finish in the Eastern Mass, tournament would give the Lusky squad the right to represent Boston in American Contract Bridge League (ACBL) tournaments.
