State Net Tournament Opens With Tigers Favored Again By AL PEARCE The 25th annual State Tennis Tournament will open here to- j day with 36 individual matches scheduled for the two-day event. The spectacle will brnig to Clinton and the PC courts the tennis teams from The Cita del, Furman University, Univer sity of South Carolina, and de fending State Champions, Clem- son. Invitations- issued to the smaller schools in the state were not answered. Matches will begin around 9 o’clock on Thursday morning, with individual singles and dou bles matches scheduled through out the day. On Friday the sur vivors of the Thursday play will meet for the championship hon ors, and a State Champion for 1934 will be crowned late Friday afternoon. A meeting of attending coach es was held Wednesday night to determine tournament seed- ings and which teams will be given first round byes. The tour nament will be scored on an HOUSE! MOVING LICENSED-INSURED - CONTACT - G. M. COX Phone 582-8814 Box 168 Fairforest, S. C, oyer-all team basis, with points awarded for a win throughout the seedings in the numbered po sitions. It is expected that seed ings will be determined by indi vidual matches, between play ers at the numbered singles and doubles positions, in the intra state meetings of the five teams. Clemson, the defending champs, wil be favored again, with PC given the only outside chance to de-throne the Tigers. Last season PC beat Clemson 5-4 in the team match before the tournament, but Clemson won the state, with PC second. This year Clemson beat PC 5-4, so now maybe PC will win the state. Given little chance to break the PC-Clemson hold on the state tennis monopoly are the ■ other three entered teams. Furman, USC, and The Citadel have al ready felt the power of PC and Clemson tennis. The Tigers have not lost to a state school, other than PC, in tennis in several years, just as PC is undefeated in state play against all but Clemson. The University of South Carolina is winless against all opponents in almost 30 matches over a two-year span, Furman has lost to PC and Clemson, and The Citadel has also fallen to these two. To make the picture more confusing The Citadel has defeated Furman. PC will be seeking to re-cap ture the title from the Tigers, ! a title Presbyterian held for > 21 consecutive years until The | Citadel claimed the crown in 1961. In that 21-year span no team even closely approached the PC tennis powerhouse, but the going has been unfamiliarly rough in the past several sea sons. After The Citadel won in 1961 Clemson took the crown in 1962 at Clemson, and repeated as champions in the tournament last year. ' Bringing a 6-4 record into to day’s opening round play PC is given little chance to dethrone the two-time champions. Clem son has power all the way down the line, excellent depth, and the tradition oft- being champions to uphold. Presby terian has a lot to make up for in the tournament, strong balance, and the home court advantage. The combination should mold the event into a two-way fight for the honored first place cup. Presbyterian is led by Bob Bob Harris, a West Palm Beach sophomore. Harris plays the top spot for PC and has defeated his closest rival for the singles championship, that opposition being the great Doug Stewar tof Clemson. Bob has also won over Bill Poore of The Citadel, but lest to Fur man’s Steve Watson. A tremen dous tennis player, Harris could be PC’s best hope to take an individual title. Playing number 2 for Pres byterian is Dodge Frederick, a senior letterman of Ormond Beach, Fla. Frederick has been a PC star for the past two years after transferring to PC from Daytona Beach Junior College. . At the third spo for PC will bb sophomore letterman Howdy Letzring. Howdy is a southpaw of St. Petersburg, Fla., giv- ifg the Hose three outstanding Florida players in the top half 11Mb km Mi tfca raai Mu a Mia-Track Paatiac. of the line-up. Letzring’s unor thodox service is his top weap on, with a slicing, spinning serve playing havoc with op ponents. Bill Tyson, a senior letter- man of Bainbridge, Ga., will hold down the 4th spot for Presbyterian. Bill is a vastly imnroved tennis player from last year, and the outstanding athlete is playing the best game of his career now. Tyson' is captain of the PC squad and is expected to put up a tough battle to claim his singles’ di vision championship. A fourth Floridian on the Blue Hose team is junior Pete Collins of Ormond Beach. Col-! lins, like Frederick, is a trans-1 fer, student from Daytona, Beach Junior College and will play the number 5 singles posi tion and the top doubles slot. A junior letterman of New port News, Va., will play the number 6 singles slot for Pres- byterian. "He’s' Bill Gilespie, a steady performer with an out- standing net game! The doubles teams will be Frederick and Collins at the number 1 position. Harris and Letzring at the 2nd position, and Tyson and Gillespie at number 3. News From The County Agent M. L. OL'TZ, County Agent Sixty-nine young 4-H mem bers from throughout the coun ty have completed a five-week course in electricity.
