naldrf , A Conquering all opposition with amazing ease, this year's net squad Won the Eastern Division Champion- ship of the Riverside County League and was barely nosed out by Hemet in the finals at Riverside 13-12. Those chalking up victories for Coachella High Were: Iohnnie Peters, first singles and first doubles, and Iohn Richards, first doubles. Upon taking both 1-loltville and Laguna Beach 18-7, Coach BrurnWell's boys became fa ' vorites for league honors. C.V. easily Won from Banning 19-6 and whipped Beaumont the following Week 21-4. The graduation of first singles player, Iohnnie Peters, who lost only one set in four years of high school corn- petitiong Fred Moore, third singles, and Iohn MacDon- ald, singles and doubles, will handicap next year's squad.

Due to the loss of several outstanding players last year, the outcome of the girls' tennis appeared disap- pointing. But as the season progressed there were sev- eral freshmen girls who came to the rescue. The first practice match was with Holtville and came out l2-l2. This match provided the necessary experience for the freshmen and also a much needed practice for the team. Our first league match was with Banning on April 2l. The score of these hard-fought matches was l5-9 in Ban- ning's favor, defeating Coachella in all but the first, second and fourth singles. As we Won from Beaumont and Palm Springs by default-first, second and fourth singles were entitled to play in the Riverside County finals, May l3.
