The man who has been foremost in
Houston tennis circles for many years
has been out of the game so far this
year. The last time we saw him tho'
he said he would be gunning for
“fresh meat” on July 3rd through the
8th. Then there’s Simmons of San
Antonio, Taylor and Delans of Austin.
Incidentally Puck Waller has just ar-
rived in Texas from Ames College,
Iowa. The former Panther flash has
been sharpening his teeth on Ames'
varsity players all spring and must
be considered a real threat again. It is
to be remembered that he won the
Houston city championship last year
and was runner-up to the Southwes-
tern title holder.
But we can’t forget the “fresh
meat” either. There are Courtney and
Mims of Houston, who won the inter-
collegiate doubles crown in April.
Stoglin and Lloyd Scott of Dallas and
Prairie View respectively were win-
ners and runner-up in the intercol-
legiate singles. Foster, E. Turner, and
Jones of Dallas must be mentioned as
strong contenders. Tamplin, McMil-
lan and Carpenter, some of Coach
Lewis’ tennis hopes for next year, are
still around looking for trouble. Ship-
wreck Kelley of Austin is sure to
wreck some one’s hopes. He usually
does anyway.
Let’s see, now. Umm, Um. On the
basis of past and present form and
leaving myself out of the picture en-
tirely, I believe that the championship
in the men’s division is a toss-up be-
tween young Waller and Ted Lawson,
the lanky Austin lad who has seen
strong competition throughout the
North and Middle West.
