Brittan started we'll by winning the
first two games in the first set. only to
have Culver come back and win the next
two. Games ahernated until the score
stood 60 in Brittan's favor. With only
one more point to win, the set looked
like his. but he could not get this vital
point and the game went to Culver. Cul-

Culver was too good IN the fourth and
last set. which he won 6-3.
This gives Culver one leg on the cup

a duel from the back line, which brings
to mind the fact that the high school
