Dark Horses Rise in M. A. Tennis
To Threaten I tourney Fovorites
By Lewis F. Atchison

A bolt of Smith-brand lightning
hit the Middle-Atlantic tennis tour
nament yesterday and put the sur
viving top flight contenders on the
anxious seat, wondering when and
where it might strike next.
Dewitt Smith, University of
Maryland star, nailed smiling Jack
Morrison of Baltimore, Ga, 60,
while young David Smith, no rela-
ton, was plugging Capt. Art Dreyer,
.16, in the concluding set of a
match begun Friday and adjourned
after Smith won, 6-3, and lost,
81. Dave later sent Frank Hartz
to the mourner's bench, 6-1, 60.
Good Spot for Dark Horse.
Today prognosticators we're nei-
ther certain nor confident they
could forecast the ultimate winner
Defending Champion Jimmy Evert
came through with colors flying, as
did Barney Welsh, Davey John
sen, Buddy Adair, Phil Neff and a
few others, but this seems to be an
excellent spot for dark-horse VIC
tory.
Many fans, after seeing Evert
play yesterday, decided that Welsh
could win the cup If he travelled
at top speed all the way through.
johnson, making his first start To-
cally in couple of years, had his
share of supporters, and Tut Bart
zen had to be reSkoned with after
smashing 60, 81 decisions over
Frank Cantwell. Bartzen meets
Dave Smith next while Dewitt
Smith takes on Gene Hermann.
But one unpublicized youngster
the players themselves fear is Harold
Burrows. who went to the semifinals
of the Middle State tournament last
week before bowling to the ultimate
champion. Burrows defeated Fred
West of the Virginia State mems
crown earlier this season and yes
terday knocked off K. K. Jones,
46, 8-6, 6-3, in a third round
match.

In that company this year was at
the hands OF William and Mary's
Garner Larned. He's beaten Barney
Welsh In straight sets and, accord :
ing to dopesters, If he continues to
play his usual game in this tourna-
ment he should go to the final
Burrows game is similar to that OF
Dave johnson, although some think
his volleying is not as good as the
young medico's. johnson, incident
ally, goes up against Buddy Adair in
his next singles match and it should
be scorcher. The two have Joined
forces in doubles.
