Beautiful, bright, hot, clear day. Arose 7 A.M. Breakfast. Read paper. To College 8 A.M.-12:30 M. Played tennis. Beat Kelly 6-1; 6-0. Lost to Tasker 6-2; 6-4. Supper. Looked over eggs. Studied. To bed 11 P.M. Thankful for health.

I didn't find a Kelly among Stanford's classmates, but I did find a Tasker who is a sophomore in 1921: Van Keuren Wade Tasker, who lived at 402 Park Avenue. He also shows up in the Garnet yearbook for 1922 in the page showing the Phi Nu Theta fraternity, of which the Closson boys were members. Here is their picture:
By 1940 Van is married with a 13 year old son. His occupation in the 1940 census is gas station attendant, but it looks as if he may actually own the gas station. He and his family live in Fort Edward, NY by then. He died in 1985.
