Dick Faust Uuniorl Dubuque High School had a squad of 20 boys out for Varsity tennis, and daily practice sessions were held on the three courts back of school and on those over at Flora Park. This division of the squad was necessary in order to provide more singles competition and to give every boy more opportunity to practice. All of the home meets were played on the Eagle Point Park Court. A ladder-ranking system was used to deter- mine the position a boy was to play in a particular match. The top six ranking players competed in team matches with other schools. Six singles and three doubles matches were played in all dual meets. Of the 20 boys reporting, only two were major letter winners, and so this was defintely a building year . ln dual meets in the M.V.C., Dubuque won four and lost four. The overall record in dual meets was four wins against six losses. In District tournament play at Cedar Rapids, Dubuque tied Loras for sec- ond place. 2. Cary Marmis Uuniorl 3. Ron Sandven Uuniorl 4.
