Several more out-of-town entries were

CoOns combination. These veteran racquet
EW1ngers from Lebanon. IND, have long
been prominent figures in indianapolis
tennis Journeys, and their entry TO the
big scrap was anxiOusly awaited.
There Is probably not another player
entered in the tourney who is as anxious
TO get things started as is our own
Johnny Hennessey. Hennessey has q
lot OF goals 10 gain IN the big meet
and he is ready TO go after them. First
OF all. Johnny viii get q chance to bet
ter his national rating. by coming
through the fight with colors flying, or
by even taking the number OF a few OF
the starlights coming here. Then, there
Is another big reason. Clifford Herd,
Pasadena (CaL) player, defeated Johnny
at Chicago last week, and in the West
ern Johnny probably will get q chance
to square accounts in this quarter. He
IS laying" for this Herd man, and is
determined 70 get the old rerenge.
