"Don't print that," Perran said. "Certainly not," I staunchly maintained. "Actually Greg Schermerhorn" has the best team record for the year-21-4 singles and 15-10 doubles," Perran pointed out. Schermerhorn, a freshman from San Bernadino, Calif, has set an enviable record in his first year of college tennis. He admitted that he practices 2 hours a day plus conditioning. The team works out at Mt. Eyrie Racquet Club during the winter months. Perran, a senior from Pheonix, Arizonia, is majoring in business management. He has amassed a 5-4 record this year, largely because he was out of commission with a knee injury, having missed 15 matches, he is back in the running now. Both players started in their freshman year of high school, and both expressed high hopes for WSC's chances in the Big Sky Conference Tennis Championship. "The Weber State team record is high-15-9 this year, "Schermerhorn noted." Perran said, "We ve got a good chance of winning. "We're playing 6 matches, 2 a day. The whole tournament will come down to the last day because we,, naturally, play the two toughest " teams then-Boise St. and Idaho. We also have a strong shot at the individual-singles championship.""We've had some tough matches both in-conference and out," Schermerhorn said, "such as University of Nevada Las Vegas, University of Hawaii, Calif. State at Fullerton, Washington, and Washington State. I'm only mentioning the hard ones," he added. "What do you think of the status of tennis today?" I asked them. "Tennis today has gone from an elite sport plaved only by a few wealthy people to the masses. Now everybody plays it, and you can't find a court to play on now that it's becoming so popular," Perran said. "I think tennis is un-derpublicized; however, it's becoming more widespread. I don't think people realize how gruelling a sport it is," Schermerhorn affirmed. Perran said, "Tennis is the hardest sport I've ever participated in, and takes longer to learn. It takes five years of practicing every day just to become an amateur player. You don't need a lot of strength to play tennis. Mostly it requires good hand and eye-coordination," he said. "It's a fast-moving sport and requires coordination and agility both as an individual or team sport," Schermerhorn said. "Even though you're playing individually, your performance influences the team result," he continued. Both athletes were congenial and easy to interview because they were outgoing and, obviously, love the sport. The only pressure we had was time, as Coach Cox said, "You've only got 20 minutes for warmup before your match, greg, you'd better get going." IT'S THE HOST Many people think of the U.S. as a country of giant corporations employing thousands of workers and grossing millions, if not billions, in sales. They're wrong. According to the Federal government, 96.7 percent of all U.S. businesses are small businesses. More and more small businessmen are discovering that the most efficient way to do bookkeeping and inventory control is with a small computer, like Radio Shack's TRS-80. Sold at Radio Shack outlets across the country, the low-cost, desk-top unit with a 12" video display, can also make it easier and less time consuming to cope with many other essential routine jobs.
