1947-48-49-50 top UCLA tennis player. In 1950, as co-captain (with Glenn Bassett), he led UCLA to its first-ever NCAA team championship as he became the first Bruin tennis player to ever capture the individual NCAA titles in both the singles and doubles (with Gene Garrett) in the same year. The 1950 team opened the door for Bruin tennis teams which won five NCAA titles between 1950 and 1956 and ultimately established the UCLA program as No. 1 in the United States. Over several years, Flam was one of the nation's stars in an era when most Davis Cup team members and top international players came from our colleges and universities. From 1951-57, Flam was ranked in the World's Top-Ten four times. In all, Flam made the singles quarter-finals at Wimbledon on three occasions and the US Open six times. He was inducted into the Collegiate Tennis Hall of Fame in 1987.
