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. Others playing this year Were: Iohn Richards, second singles, Ben Wilkin, fourthwsgngleq, Don Peterson, Neal Brinkley, Billy lohnson, 'Maurice Little? Walter Roach, Carl Moore, and Richardwiach, all of'vvhorn Will probably see action next year.
