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

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 baseline player rarely enjoys
playing on a clay court, and his game
may fool you if you watch him play

Tlic slow player, on the other
hand, would rather play on a clay
court. He is the player who charges
the net. 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.

Healed, but still
USC's An
By WAYNK WASHINGTON
Sports editor 4
USC wide receiver Jones Andrews ,
lias seen more doctors than passes.
The junior from Richland Nor- I
theast High School has had his knee
operated on three times and his
shoulder cut into once.
"1 was injury prone in high
school," Andrews said. "1 broke my
arm my junior year, and three weeks i
before the opening game my senior s
year, I hurt my knee real bad." I
Now, Andrews is healed, but scars (
still remain. These scars, however, i
don't show up on Andrews' 6-0,
178-pound body; they appear on the 1
statistical sheet Saturday afternoons. i
He was redshirted early in his c
career and has seen his playing time I
cut this season by the strong play of r
Sterling Sharpe and former high s
school teammate Ryan Bethea.
But Andrews said he isn't jealous 5
or even overly envious. j
"I'm not mad," he said. "I'm \

Andrews, who played quarterback
n high school and was recruited by
uch schools as Fur man, Wake
orest, Duke and USC, said the
jamccocks were his first choice com
ng out of high school.
"I've been a fan ever since I've

ny decision so far. There were plenty

ootball again," Andrews said,
eflecting on the injuries of his high
chool days.
Although he isn't as well-known as
sharpe or Bethea, Andrews has
ilayed football again and played

Andrews,
(JSC wide receiver
"Jones is a steady player who
wants to contribute to the team in
any way he can," the description
says.
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. "I have
t o m a k e the most of my
opportunities."

show the talent he said he knows he
has. 1
"I feel pretty satisfied with the effort
I've given. My role is the third
receiver. I basically go in when J
they're a little tired. I'm satisfied in jj
my role. |
"I might not be as spectacular as
Ryan Bcthea or Sterling Sharpe, but
not many people arc."
Sharpe has been touted as one of
the finest receivers in the country and
has had the type of record-breaking
season that make NR. scouts drool.
This is Sharpc's last season, however,
and a gaping hole will be formed with ffc
his absence and the departure of
seniors Danny Smith and Kevin
White.
Andrews looks at that fact as
another opportunity. |
' We have some younger guys, including
myself, that are eager to step
in and fill their shoes.''
