April, the alumni,; feeling the need
for an organization to bind the en-
gineering graduates closer together,
appointed a committee to study the
problem.
The result was the formation under
the laws of Texas of a non-profit
corporation knows as the Engineer-
ing Alumni of Institute; ,'|tjtiorpr

Other plans of the corporation in-
clude the eventual employment of a
.secretary who will manage a sort iaf

(iucrnscy Home From Tennis Wars
Frank Guernsey hurried from For-
est Hills today and the climax of
the annual tennis wars. The tiny
Rice star, who is noted for his sta-
mina ancl ability doggedly to out-
last larger and more adept oppon-
ents, was bringing his school its sec-
id intercollegiate title after an ar-
dent' campaign in the East.
The Owl sophomore; left for Fort
Worth Juiie !) after a brief early
campaign that landed him the South-
western conference singles crown. In
Cliwtown he; -met and walloped Wil-
mei Allison in the last round of the
Te-Sah Sectional tournament. The vet-
eran lhivis Cup cainpnigner immed-
iately predicted victory for Uuern-
sey in the ihtei'cdllegiates. !
Ihit Guernsey's iiext niove was a
surprising one, Weary from the in-

wak July 2, the eve of. the inteicol
legiate meet, Guernsey hurried on to
the "Merii)!! Gricket. Club in Havur-
ford. Pt'iinsylvaiiia, Where Amcricu'e
forimost collegiate, players were al-
h'ady gathered. ,lqij"Hunt, University
of • .Southern California's Davis Gup
spare and Number "> nationally, was
genei'ally .favored to take the crown
relinquished after two years by Rr-
riest Sutler of Tuianc, who has com-
pleted his eligibility. Don | McNeill,
the Oklahoma City flash represent-
ing1 Kenyun College, was also: liked
by many observers. McNeill, rnnked
ninth by the United States Lawn
Tennis Association, is the present na-
tional indoors titlehoUlor.
Guernsey was seeded number three
and hailed as Dixie's hope when play
bagan, Brushing aside lesser stars in
the opening rounds, he advanced to
the fourth round at the expense of
Doug Inihoff, University of Californ-
ia. Next afternoon the fireworks be-
gan as eight determined young men
settled down to serious play. The
highly regarded McNeill was absetit
l'rdm the final eight, having been
upset by Georgia Institute of Tech-
nology'# Bobbitt in the first on-
slaught. ; , '
Guernsey delighted the gallery as
he came from behind to outsteady
his .old opponent from the Universi-
ty of Texas, Robert Kamrath. Trail-
ing the, Austin standout one, set in
the blistering heat, Frank overcame
initial, wildness to run, out the match
with the loss , of ohly three more
gaipes at 5-7, (i-1. ftkuinWhllc
top-seeded'Joe Hunt btiwed In three
setts to Harman, his neighbor from
the University of . California; and
the Ml"'Ph.V twins from Chicago both
fell—Chester being outclassed by U.
S. C's Wetherell after: wiitclving his
counterpart William lose quickly to
Hoiyy Lewis; the Ivenyon College
giant-killer.
Goes Into Semi-Finals
The semi-finals pitted Kice's hiqie
against Harman, Lewis against Wet®
ereltl. In Harman, Guernsey was ;up
against a brilliant oppiiunt, 'fresh
and determined from his convincing
win ovei"JocufHUnt. Harmali had lit-
srally blasted Hunt off the court with
tremendous forehand drives that had
the favorite running past bis base
line to recover, ami he went to work
immediately on his semi-finals op-
ponent, running out two sets before
Guernsey could solve the Californ-
ia's. attack. Still calm under the tre-
mendous pressure, Frank tried a net
game against the booming drives that
were sending him scurrying to every
corner.
The tide changed. The little Mice
sophomore was cheered incessantly
as he battled grimly to deuce the
match nicely at 3-0, 2-8, (i-ll, (1-2. But
what a brief respite, as Harman
pressed to take the next three games
and a t'ommanding lead. Again Frank
settled valiantly to work, winning the
next five games in succession, Then
on match- point in the tenth game,
Guernsey erreci. Harman, quick to
push any advantage, evened up at
(fi and changed his mode of at-
tack. Gambling his reserve strength
in a last attempt, the coast star
suddenly ..began to rush the net. With
characteristic calmness, Guernsey
moved back, passed him neatly with
accurate placements, and rah out
the match at 8-0.
Finals Are Anti-Climax
Meanwhile Lewis had worn down
Wetherell with his " relentless at-
tack to win the other finals spot.
Guernsey's last match with Lewis
Was only anti-climax to the brilliant
play of the previous day. Lewis, a
stocky and determined player with
close-cropped blond hair, was no
match for the Rice Institute repre-
sentative, who won much as he
pleased at (1-4, 0-2, 0-0.
The Kcnyon College player, who
hails from Texarkana, exhibited lit-
tle of the fire that helped him tear
through three seeded stars earlier in
the tournament. At match point
Guernsey set up an arching lob over
his opponent, who had torn to the
Pet. Lewis did not attempt a recov-
ery, and instead had started to con-
gratulate the apparent winner when
the shot drifted out. The Texarkana
boy, heartened by this turn of events,
rallied quickly to deuce the game,
but two points later he had lost the
match on his own errors.
Pushing on further east, the new
champion next appeared at Forest
Hills to compete in the New York
State clay court championships. Con-
quering tile foremost eastern colleg-
iate opposition, Guernsey pushed on
lo the finals, where he disposed of
Julius Heldman G-4, 12-10, 8-8, after
the California)! had led in every set.
Scorning the lesser meets, the Rice
star now moved definitely into the
big time as he paused In Jackson
Heights for the eastern clay coui'W
meet before Seabright. Play was
forced indoors, where Guernsey lost
quickly to Doug Imhoff, but he be-
gan to devote Serious time to the
doubles play that w to bring later
recognition. Here he and Wayne Sab-
in advanced to a bitter five set loss
in the finals. - ■
Teams With Russell ISobbill
Seabright saw the pairing of
Guernsey with Russell Bobbitt of
Georgia Institute of Technology, a
combination that was to prove more
and more succcrst'ul. After the in-
tercollegiate titlist had bowed to
Frankie Parker, he and Bobbitt went
on to the semi-finals over Render^*
sou and Anderson, the North Caro-
lina duet. At Southampton1 the same
combination dropped a five set de-
cision in the last round to Kovaes
and Harman. Meeting a player nearer
his own stature on the grass at Rye,
New York, the week of Atlgust 8,
Guernsey put up a terrific fight be-
fore losing 9-7, 1-0, 0-2 to Bitsy
Grant, who collapsed twice on the
Westchester courts in Winning. Con-
tinuing here in doubles, Frank pnd
Bobbitt breezed until they met Budge
and Mako in the semi-finals.
Guernsey met Parker again at
Newport the following week, and fell
6-4, 0-4 after blowing an early lead,
but he and Bobbitt attracted plenty
of attention in their next tournament,
the national doubles scramble at
Brookline, Massachussets. Scoring a
nice upset, the young Southerners
crushed the Yugoslavian Davis Cup
team in straight sets. Guernsey
aroused much comment by his "ability
ably to cover so much court space.
Boomed for a startling upset the next
day, the youngsters appeared be-
wildered and lost "'quickly to Budge'
and Mako, who went on to capture
the great Longwood Bow] with a
surprisingly easy \vin over Qujst
and Bromwich, the highly touted pair
from down under,
