Show Eciders Grasp Twelfth Tennis Crown By Clyde Oliver Playing host to the Ecide Leopard Leop-ard seniors, South courtmen ended this year's edition of city sports by bowing to the Hilltoppers after the East Side boys had swept the title. Prior to the meet, East's seniors were undefeated in two years of "Big Three" play, but the Cubs turned back two - thirds of East's doubles combinations in bowing, 2-3. South's Bill Van Ry and partner Howard Richardson defeated Wendell Wen-dell Winegar and John Bennett, 7-5, 3-6, 6-1. The second winning team was that of Jack Warton and Eddie Anderson, who defeated Buzz Love and Frank Pyke, 6-4, 6-3. Other battles fell to thee Eciders, Eci-ders, with Mel Hansen and Lou Dods making a battle in falling to Cal McGillis and Bob Lence of East, 6-2, 6-2. Dick Brower strongly strong-ly contested every point of East's Bob Lewis, but he fell in defeat as the Lewis boy decisioned him, 6-2, 6-2. Similarly, Doug Heiner lost to Fred Lewis, 6-4, 6-4. Thus ended another unsuccessful attempt at-tempt on the part of the Cubs to dethrone the seemingly always victorious vic-torious Leopard tennis machine. Earlier in the week the South juniors invaded the East courts and were wiped out by a 5-0 score. 'Nuff said! In so doing, the East boys received their twelfth gonfalon gon-falon in city tennis by smashing .through all opposition to take the top spot. They received plaudits from their foes, who pressed them all the way. Nice going! Although not all fellows gained wins in net competition, Southerners Southern-ers should hail with pride their tennis ten-nis teams. Following is the list of boys who played in the senior division: Doug Heiner, Dick Brower, Joe Bonny, Bill VanRy, Howard Richardson, Eddie Anderson, Jack Wax-ton, Lou Dods and Mel Hansen. Junior players were Bob Hoffman, Hoff-man, Don Giacomo, Mel Adams, Jack Bolton, Grant Jenkins, Gordon Gor-don Milne, Ronald Capener and Hugh Miller, Wallace Jones. |
