Sports $ THE GAMECOCK Wednesday, November 11, 1987 ^1 S Being a per] requires pla Tennis. You can't he a yuppie unless you can play tennis. Television portrays people driving nice BMW's with endless amounts of money heading to the country club every Saturday to partake of an enjoyable game of tennis. Have you ever witnessed a bum playing tennis? It just doesn't look tight for a person wearing cut-off blue jeans, dir ty sneakers and a holey T-shirt to be on the tennis courts. Hut, take the bum, dress him in a polo shirt, tennis shorts, and a pair of I ila's and he is the image of a ten nis player, provided he has a racket. Rackets. . . have you priced a racket lately? You almost have to be a millionaire to afford a decent racket. It's almost a written law to today's tennis players that you not step on a court with an old, wooden racket. Your racket has to be graphite or ceramic, and it must be strung with top-ot''-the-line strings. It'you are really serious and can afford to be cocky, you may have your racket strung with colored gammagut strings. The idea is to have different rackets with different colored strings to match your different outfits. About your outfit. Never wear your socks up. It's better if you wear the little ankle socks. Having your socks up means you are not in proper liinnii nnilArm tin ,.,11 t -i L- <> "i.v. "... you seriously. If you arc rich, you don't have to know the rules. You can always pay off your opponent. There are two basic types of courts: clay and hard. The type you perform better on depends on your level of play.

A simple volley over his head will wear him down because he has to chase it down. Then he will play a sluggish baseline game. Most yuppies prefer the clay courts because clay courts mean leisure. Besides, they don't want to mess up their hair by sweating. After the match, thev will have to make an ap pcarance at the social hot spot, and they don't want to be held up in the locker room too long getting ready. So, if you are born into a yuppie family, are you born with the ability to play tennis? No, it means you have the money to be a tennis player. Your mother will take you to your lessons every week at the country club. She will drop you off at the courts and then drive to the social room to have a few cocktails. She will get out of the car, almost always wearing her sunglasses and tossing her hair behind her shoulders. Alter your lesson, your mother chais with the eoach for about five minutes before she says she has to pick up the clothes at the cleaners before they close. You then get to go home and play football with your friends in the back yard. S o m cwhcre during your childhood, you outgrow the need to play football with your friends and can't wait for your tennis lessons. As you progress in your game and have long been a regular at the club, you start to make connections with the various club members. When you are old enough to take advantage of these rich club members, you can discuss business deals over a leisurely game of tennis. And the cycle begins again.

But Andrews is the closest thing the Gamecocks have to the Seattle Scahawks' Steve I.argent ? a dependable receiver who lacks great speed, but makes up tor that by running routes that go "snap, crackle and pop." Mis statistics tell two stories. With only five catches, Andrews hardly gets the chance to break any records. "Whenever I'm out there. I have to play well," Andrews said.
