Years It wasnt too many years ago that the name Johnny Chris sent chills down the backs of Rocky Mountain Conference football teams who faced Westminster College and John Chrlstopolus on the small college grid. But the rugged center for the Parsons devel- oped great respect for the defensive and eight game years later found himself coaching Olympus High School netters who have more than one eye on the Class A tennis crown for 1964. Ive always favored a good defense as a good offense, the former Parson great smiled as his young and talented tennis crew took to the court. I feel we can take state. Our kids are enthusiastic and raw-bon- ed because of tennis programs soohomore basketball team. The Titan tennis team is young. Theres but a single senior on the team while a sophomore named Mike is a big reasoi behind the Olympus optimism. Another half dozen reasons for the Titan claim to the net throne answer to Bruce Plenk, John Marz, Dave Curtis, Miles Homan, Steve Flynn and Brent McGee. Holman reinjured a knee and could be out for the season. But Injuries happen to the best of teams. Its the champions who comeback and win despite adversities. Waldram, In his first year as a Titan Is the No. 1 ranked in the State. His area In the we have not only good team clepth but botst top talent, he smiled. The record bears out the Wal-dr'a- Chrlstopolus optimism. Titan racketmen have six straight victories In Region Three competition. Thus far, Highland, East, West, Granite and 45kyllne have dropped matches to the young Titans. Skyline has a pair of defeats at the hands of the defensive minded netters who occupy a good portion of after school hours on the tennis court. Football's always been my favorite. But you cant play football all your life. Tennis is my next love. Coach Chrlstopolus is assistant football coach at Olymthe pus and also coaches frustrating task trying to run a tennis tournament In Utah in April because of the unpredictable weather along the Wasatch Front during that month. The problem seems to be the same every year for those who stage the gigantic Ice an apBreaker tournament propriately named event. This year Is no exception but play in the Ice Breaker continued this week with matches at the Salt Lake Tennis Club and the Liberty Park Courts. Instead of complaining about the weather Ice Breaker, participants, anxious to get the competitive season underway, manage to get a few matches in between the frequent rain and snow showers that have dampened the valley the past two weeks. Such was the case last week when many of the 400 contestants waited out the rain and snow before getting In some action. Lanky Jim Osborne, a freshman at the University of Utah, became the meets first champion Sunday when he beat teammate Mike Martlnes 6, 0 to win the 1964 mens singles crown. Puddles ofwa-ton the court had to be swept off to permit Osborne and Martlnes to begin play. Before the second set was completed It started raining again. The rain worked to the of the shorter, speedy Martlnes while hardhitting Osborne Just kept firing away. Lee Hammel, the man with the title of tournament director, ends up with the- big scheduling problem everytlme matches have to be cancelled. Hammel seems to take the weather In stride. Its some 8-- 6-- er thing we expect and get every year, he savs of the rain and snow. But, the kids need tournament comi etition to Improve their games and delaying the meet to a later date our young players deprives of much needed experience, he says. While Hammel has been running the show at the Tennis Club, Mrs. Merrill K. (lone) Davis, the Utah Tennis Associations secretary, has been handling events at Liberty Park Its said that every cloud must have a silver lining and 6-- 3. 6-- 1. 4-- 6, 6-- 6-- 4; 6-- 1; 6-- 6-- 6-- 6-- 6-- 6-- 5-- 6-- game is rated best In singles competition though hes an able mate tandem Plenk is another single.
