held on in the last segment to win by 27. Playing with Schwartz were Michael Becker, Larry Cohen, David Berkowitz, Steve Robinson and Peter Boyd. Schwartz was trying for his third win in the contest. He was captain of the winning squads in 1997 (which also featured Robinson and Boyd) and 1998. The Schwartz team had eliminated the defending champions led by in a dramatic semifinal match. Their momentum seemed to carry through the first part of yesterday’s final, but Jacobs blunted their initiative by winning the third quarter by 24 IMPs.
