A rsooucT or f y internatkjml Knives i INI** * Watches ■ - > i SC Tennis Tourney On College Courts Friday, Saturday The state tennis spotlight Will focus on Presbyterian College this Friday and Saturday as five colleges compete here for team and individual glory in the South Carolina Intercollegiate Tennis Tournament. Player seedings are to be made Thursday evening for this meet which bids to be one of the most hotly contested in years. Play is scheduled to get underway on Friday morning and extend through Saturday afternoon. Presbyterian, undefeated in S. C. .play and boasting a 11-2 re cord thus far, returns to the fav ored role after having been un seated from its state tennis throne for the past two seasons. But the defending champion Clemson team will be in sharp contention, as will the strong Ci tadel squad and teams from Fur man and the University of South Carolina. The Blue Hose, with regular season wins over Clemson (5-4), Citadel (7-2) and Furman (80), hope to regain the championship they held for 20 consecutive titles until 1961. That year, it was the Citadel snatching away the championship in the final match. Then, it was Clemson's turn last season in another tournament that went down to the fiw*i strokes of play. Tony Wilson, PC’s number one man from Scarsdale, N. Y., pro bably will get the nod for top seeding in the singles. Although undefeated in the state, Wilson was pushed to three sets in whip ping both Cleifison’s Doug Stew art and Stewart Levi of the Ci tadel in matches staged last week. In addition to these three con tenders, the state tournament will have such outstanding per formers as Dodge Frederick, Bob Harris and Howdy Letzring of Presbyterian College, James Ledbetter of Clemson, William Poore of The Citadel, and Fur man’s Steve Watson and Jimmy Boykin.
