Com menting on the situation as it now stands, the popular young coach said, “I’m not at all happy with the amount of prac tice our boys have been able to work in. The weather has hampered us just at the time we were about ready to begin practicing. The boys have been running to get in top shape, but they really need to get out and play as much as they can. We have a match in three weeks, and I don't fed that we’re at all ready. As soon as we can get some weather and the courts are gotten in shape, we'll begin to work hard every day.” If the team can work itself into top shape, then the situation will be much improv ed, because the team is a strong one. mind, he never lets up for an instant, regardless of the odds. Figured to round out the re turning squad are junior letter- man Arch Hudgins of Charles ton, West, Va., and Mark Bras well, a senior letterman from Atlanta, Ga. Both boys have played some varsity matches in the past, but this year they are expected to step into start ing roles.

J. H. Witherspoon, Adjudica tion Officer of the VA Regional Office, Columbia, said today that the VA will still accept completed questionnaires sent in now to avoid hardship upon eligible pen sion recipients. He added that prompt action will be necessary to avoid the termination of pres ent payments and the issuing of demand for repayment of all pen sion payments received last year. The law makes it mandatory that completed questionnaires be submitted to the VA each year by each pension recipient to deter mine whether annual income from all other sources exceeds the legal ceilings. ' Income received in 1963 plus that anticipated for 1964 must be reported, Witherspoon explained. He pointed out that those vet erans receiving service-connect ed disability compensation and beneficiaries receiving service- connected disability death com pensation need not make annual income reports.
