A PROFESSOR of Greek at the University of Texas, who rides a BIZ
n cycle to and from work, helped the United States to make a clean
sweep of the tennis championships this year at Wimbledon, England.
His name is DR.. Z. A. Penick, and his years of coaching without one
cent in payment have put the state of Texas on the tennis map in a big
way. It was Doc Penick who turned out Wilmer Allison, Berkeley Bell
and a score of other net stars from the Panhandle.
It was he who taught young Allison the tricks that vanquished
Henri Cochet, the worlds greatest tennis player, in the singles at VIM
bedon. And Allison, later, as half of the doubles team of Van Ryn
and Allison, went on the win the doubles championship on the English
cnmrt for the second consecutive time

Lifeboats and radio, which

Immediately in q sea disaster,

shattered by the impact and had
to be repaired. The launching Of

However, when the steamship
Gloucester, which had followed
the Fairfax out Of Boston and
carrying only is passengers poked
her nose through the fog the
sheets of flaming gasoline had
SubSided allowing the launching
Of lifeboats. From the deck Of
the Fairfax passengers were trans
ferred, boat after boat, to the
deck of the Gloucester.
There was some criticism by
passengers, who refused to be
quoted, Of the apparent failure
to send out an s IS. An official
Of the line, however, said that a
call went out after the radio ap-
paratus had been repaired. It
was to a call for help that the

sounding, according to all re-
ports, but nobody could be found
who heard the tanker'S fog
