Special To The Daisy CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas - Second seeded singles player Brian Teacher of UCLA was the first upset victim in the opening round of the 92nd annual NCAA Championship Tourna- ment. TEACHER WAS DROPPED by Louisiana State's Gary Albertine, 6-3, 7-5. Teacher was the only highly regarded player to lose in the first round. Teammate Peter Fleming, the top seed in the tourney, picked up the slack with a 7-5, 6-0 conquest of Ali Kahn from Oklahoma State. UCLA was favored to win again this year, but west coast rivals USC and Stanford will try to take advantage of Teacher's downfall. IN MATCHES of interest to Big Ten fans, only one of six Wolverine and Buckeye per- formers remains in the field. Francisco Gon- zales, number one singles title holder of the conference, advanced into the second round after downing Jackie Bushman of Auburn, 6-3, 7-5. Gonzales will face Stewart Keller from Texas in the next round. Francisco's brother Pedro was dumped 6-2, 6-4, by Jeff Robinson from Alabama, who is ranked 13th. John Botica and Jim Flower also fell by the wayside for OSU as they were dis- posed of by Chris Delaney of SMU, 6-7, 7-6, 6-1, and USC's Mike Newberry, 6-3, 6-2, re- spectively. BIG TEN team champion Michigan fared no better than Ohio State. Senior Eric Fried- ler played his last match for the Maize and Blue, losing to Joe Edler of SMU, 4-6, 7-5, 6-4. Jeff Etterbeek dropped Rice's Ross Persons, 6-1, 4-6, 6-4, but then felt the agony of defeat when he was eliminated by Ricardo Ycaza of Houston, 1-6, 6-4, 6-1. IN DOUBLES, Etterbeek and Friedler will open against the Dartmouth duo of Rob Tesar' and Peter Renner. After one day of competition, UCLA, USC, Stanford, and Trinity, as expected, were lead- ing the pack.
