He likes to play the angles and mix up his shots. His style of play very often confuses the opposition. Mark Chamberlain Dick Faust Dick Faust, currently the number one play- er on the Rams tennis squad, has been an outstanding leader. Dick is one of the smooth- est stroking players to represent Senior in many a year. He is well-schooled in the funda- mentals ofthe game, and his strokes are solid. His keen concentration makes him an espec- ially good competitor.
