Show THE HERALD. Provo. Vtah, 11, 1964 Friday, May - Page II Nicklaus Miller, Better Frampton Keeps Getting Exhibition June By PATRICIA KNOELL Herald Correspondent Dr. Boyd Frampton of Provo has taught all his children to play tennis. You might say it's the Frampton family sport And the Provo High tennis team is very glad that the Framptons are a family that chose to "play together." The Bulldogs' tennis teams have included a series of Framptons anchoring both their boys and girls squads for the 10 past years. The latest in the By MARION DUNN Herald Sports Editor to-he- In 1974 Johnny Miller won the long Frampton line is sophomore Alan, who last week successfully defended the Region Seven singles title he won as a freshman for the Bulldogs. Alan is a d athlete who also stars on the Provo basketball team. "I'd like to play baseball, too," he says, "but I can't play v C l C both tennis and baseball, so I'll stick with tennis."

Having a player like Alan on the team tends to make a coach's job easier. "Alan is more than just a fine tennis player, he's also a great kid," Collins notes. "He's got a great attitude. He never complains or causes any trouble." Of course, the talent doesn't hurt, either. It's helped Alan not only win the region championship for two consecutive years, but also carried him into the semifinals of last year's 3A Provo's Alan Frampton slams a running forehand back state championships. n While that was quite a feat matches against Alan, but the Provo sophomore for a freshman, the excitement teams if the weather would cohas a perfect record against was tempered somewhat by the Mike.
