acket squad is blanked in early season play v. VARSITY TENNIS: Jim Muir, Bob Tracy, Brent Headley, Coach Bloss, Pat Lessard, Joe Worsley Hit hard by eligibility requirements, the GCC tennis team was faced with the prospects of a dismal season after dropping the first five matches on the schedule and being forced to cancel several others. The netmen were aced by Grand Canyon College by 5-2, 6-1 and 7-0 scores. Cochise scored a 6-1 win and Eastern Arizona whitewashed the Gauchos 7-0. Number one player Joe Worsley remained undefeated while he was on the squad. Coach Bloss felt that Worsley would have been able to rank highly in the national iunior college tournament which is being conducted in Ocala, Florida, in the early summer of 1966. In mid season, Ken Hanks and Del Merrill answered the call for reinforcements from Coach Bloss, Pat Lessard and Brent Headley were playing numbers one and two from mid season on, and continued to improve individually. When the racket- men hit the courts in 1967, these two players should be main- stays of the team. Also designed to aid the GCC chances against Arizona competition in '67 will be a proposed California trip to play teams in the San Diego area. 84 -ATHLETICS
