A couple of young men with
gray f0rebOdings left for Alex
andria Sunday morning to en-
ter tennis tournament. They
expected to last about as long
as q snow ball ON q radiator, but
all the same they were out to
win. It was Don Otto, and
Russell Larson. These two,
who probably represent the
crest of the present tennis wave
I'm this city, went to the tour
nament, got their first match,
and Monday swung into semi
final rounds. Both are ar
dent students. And by that I
mean they just don't play ten
tbs; they try faithfully to I'M

they're gaining in taking In

some space to fill, haven't I?) /
was on the 7th tee that the crucia
moment arose that provided tn,
turning point of the game. Up t.
the awaiting ball, strobe the Doc
tor. His swing wasn't exactly on,
of beauty and grace. In fact th'
ball started off toward the woods
S'help me, will wonders never
cease? The erring pellet struck ,
tree, bounced onto the green for {
nice setup. !. And that says s. P
is what broke the youngsters NOR
ale.

It can't happen here-But be-
