The Wall Street Journal estimates
that there are 100000 autos In use

At that rate Iowa will have three times

sary's return Of Your serve. Do not
be caught flatfooted.
In making a shot never take your
eye off the ball itself. Many players,
instead, look at the spot where they
expect to put the ball Others look
at their opponent.
One should stand sideways a bit In
serving.
The higher you meet the ball the
more angle one has to the service
court.
Where is the best spot to place your
service? Place IL down the center
line to your adyersary's back hand, n
that is his weakest point. or IL he Is
standing too far to the side OF the
court. This gives you less ground to
protect on the return.
IL the server Is good on his backhand
yolleying it would paw to serve to the
opponents right, as thus you put him
out of position. He then naturally
drives the ball to your backhand, and
you have the whole court to his left
in which to volley the ball. In the
other court serve well to his left. He
then is likely to drive the ball to your
forehand, giving you an easy voIley
to his right. However. do not stick
to enc plan. Try to have your ad-
Fersary guessing at all times where
ycu are going to put the ball while
serving.

A few players have the fault of pull.

out CT the court. ~ Ill. ., ....
Hard Second Service.
Try to get the second service ball in
as hard as the first. Players are too
much afraid of losing the {point by
double faulting. Why not take a
chance, as you are likely to lose the

ice? BY getting in good second

Some players have a fault of moving

on the toss-up makes you lean for

note Of ropr racquet some time when

cause he thought partisanship should
