Rules were released
this week for the 1984 Al-
bany Invitational Tennis

K. C. Jones, who is help-
ing the Albany High

dinate the event.
The entry deadline for
the tournament, which
will include both men's

Fees for the three-day
event will be $10 per per-
son for the singles cate-
gory and $5 per person
for doubles.
The tournament com-
mittee requests that all
players wishing to enter
the tournament fill out an
entry form and mail it to:
1964 Albany Invitational
Tennis Tournament. PO
Box 1217. Albany
76480. '
"By mailing the form to
one specified post office
box, there is less chance
of losing or forgetting an
entry," explained Jones.
Only a few rules govern
the local event, including
the fact that all entrants
must be Albany residents
or family members of Al-
bany residents.
Men's and women's
doubles teams will be
paired by the tournament
committee, but all en-
trants into mixed doubles
must provide their own
partners.
Tennis balls will be pro-
vided for all matches, and
all matches will be
scheduled by the commit-
tee as to time and court.
Forfeitures will be de-
clared if a player is not on
the court within 15
minutes of the scheduled
starting time.
The AHS cheerleaders,
beaded by Piper Parker,
are sponsoring the tour-
nament as a fundrsising
project to cover costs of
cheerleading camp and
uniforms.
According to Miss
Parker, awards will be
provided for winners and
runners-up in each divi-
sion.
Any questions should
be directed to the cheer-
leaders or other members

mittee, including John
