UNITED Press star CoVrespondentl
New York, March u - (U,P0 -
The y. 8. Lawn Tennis Association
win internally Its efforts TO improve
the breed OF high school tennis
coaches during the war,
Such an improvement would
strengthen and enlarge the field OF
youthful tennis talent that can be
tapped for international competi-
tlon when the war "a over, brass
hats Of the U. 8, l.. T. A. believe.
Holcombe Ward, president Of the
association, Is convinced that O ma.
jor weakness In the American tennis
system Is tho general lack Of ability
among coaches who teach the rae.
quet game In our high schools. Too
often, he says, the court instructors,
both men and women, are able
teachers Of mathematics, Latin,
chemistry and other subjects In the
classroom, but woefully weak In
their knowledge Of tennis funda.
vnentals.
To remedy this situation. Ward
says, tennis clinics will be estab.
lislaed wherever possible throughout
the country and high school coaches
will be invited TO attend. At these
clinics - held at colleges. tennis
clubs or public playgrounds-profes-
sional instructors or capable ana
teurs Of the area will teach the
high school mentors how the game
should be played and taught.
Not New
Ward emphasizes that the clinic
Idea Is not new. It was conceived
and tested several years ago at
Presbyterians College, Clinton, s.
g. DR.. william q. Jacobs, president
Of the college. suggested Its use by
the y. s. L. 7. A. The idea found
favor with the association, and DR..
Jacobs was made chairman Of the
associations clinic committee. Since
then. clinics have been held success
fully on o small scale In few sec.
tons Of the east, south and mid
west.
But we want them held every
where, from now on" Ward told
the New York tennis writer's yester-
day. I'VE estimate that there are
about $500 high schools where ten
mis- is played. Our aim is to have
clinics available for instructors ct
all those schools and for any high
school players who may desire 70
attend.
I'VE realize that diflculties will
be encountered In extending the
clinic system during wartime. For
example, many Of the colleges will
be unavailable as clinic sites for
their areas because they are being
used by the armed forces. But In
such localities. the tennis clubs and
parks could be used"
Ward said that the weakness Of
high school tennis coaching is
pointed up each year when high
school players move ON to college or
begin competing against youngsters
who have had proper instruction.
Too often. he said. the high school
boys and girls must "unlearn" the
wrong fundamentals they picked up
from poor coaches.
Ward concluded, "in selecting
sites for the clinics. utmost care
must be taken TO avoid transporta.
ton difficulties"
