ttf' s T 'fi , f Leahmon Bryant Taylor Paul D. B. Weatherby Douglas Cowsert Wiley Connally W. O. Maxwell, lr. I. I. McClure Charles Morman Golf, at the present time, is not an interscholastic sport. This did not, however, dampen the interest of the six or seven golfers whom Mr. 'Weatherby finally selected to represent Abilene High School. ln the first meet with McMurry, the Eagle golfers defeated the lndians by winning 2 out of 3 matches, and tying 2 others. By an even more decisive score of 4 matches to l, the Abilene golfers next defeated Abi- lene Christian College players. The first high school competition came from Colorado golfers. The Warbirds again proved their superiority by defeating them by the same score of 4 matches to l. On the first out-of-town trip the golf teams were again victorious in drubbing the Sweetwater Mustangs by 4 matches to 2. With this record to present, one can easily see why Mr. Weatherby could boast of one of the best golf teams he has had in re cent years. Though many of his golfers are graduating seniors, next year Abilene High will again be well represented by many younger boys that are playing this year.

GIRLS TENNIS in ft i First Row: Ruby Faye Huskin, lmogene Biggerstaff, Merlyn Mattes, Helen Ann Reynolds. Second Row: Miss Vivian Liddell, Ruth Hamrrond, lanice Robertson, Olga Moore, Louise Page. Perhaps in no other sport has there been more interest created in the past year than in tennis among girls. Starting with little material, Miss Vivian Liddell devel- oped in her three seniors and three juniors players who were a credit to the school. ln the first and only dual meet of the year, the Baird tennis girls found the Abilene girls exceedingly hard to handle. Ruth Hammond, senior singles, defeated Baird singles 6-2, 7-5. Betty lo Delano, junior singles, defeated Baird junior netters by a 6-4, 6-l count. The junior doubles team, composed of Blair Morton and lanelle Warren, downed Baird junior doubles 6-2, 6-l. At the San Angelo lnvitation Tournament the girls again gave a good account of themselves. Although the senior doubles, composed of Louise Page and Merlyn Mattes, lost in the first round, their first round opponents were the experienced San Angelo doubles. Ruth Hammond, senior singles, also lost her first match. The next week-end was District Meet. There Louise Page, playing singles, advanced to the finals by drub- bing Loraine in the first round, Wylie in semifinals, and losing to Sweetwater in the finals by a score of 6-2, 6-2. Merlyn Mattes and Ruth Hammond went to the semifinals in doubles by downing Stamford 6-4, 6-2, but losing next to Roby 6-2, 6-6. Thus ended the season with the best showing of girls tennis in recent years. Q Girls tennis team Page 107
