Doc,
Our best teams were in the early to middle sixties. We had Marty Riessen and Clark Graebner, who were very highly rated nationally. They were also the U.S. number 1 Davis Cup doubles team. Riessen started on the basketball team. He won the Big Ten singles championship, I think, three times. NU won the Big Ten every year. I walked on for a couple of weeks, challenged the number 6 man, played great, lost 6-2 6-2, and departed. Coach Riessen, (Marty's father Claire), was very kind to me.
This is all from memory, and I'm elderly, so all might not be accurate. Go ,Cats!
