Heading this year's much improved Monarch tennis team was Lenny and Danny Kaufman, IO-3 and ll-2, respectively, and John Gordon, undefeated with a I3-O record. Also outstand- ing as singles players were Mike Bell and Rich Carsner, both with 9-4 records. This year also brought out two fine doubles players in the persons of Cliff Rhodes and Dave Kauth with 9-4 records. The team at press time has won IO and lost 3 and is expected to finish thirdwifh G I3-4 record. This is the first year that Morningside has sported a JV tennis team. This year they have compiled a 9-2 record to press time. According to Coach Smith the outstanding JV players were Jerry Gast and Jaime Callaco. Although the Monarchs lost the matches against perennial champ Santa Monica, Danny Kaufman and Mike Bell beat top-ranked Santa Monica players. The top achievement this year was the first place taken by the Kaufman brothers at the El Camino tourney. The Kaufmans pulled a brilliant set to beat a championship Inglewood doubles team. In order to beat Inglewood they first had to beat Aviation, Inglewood, and Leuzinger, and they beat Inglewood by a 6-2, 4-8, 8-6 score. The team took a close second behind Inglewood.

We fancied Morningside's JV, Bee, and Cee basketball teams all fought courageously, but due to lack of experience the Monarch Bee and Cee teams could not pull through with league champion- ships as the Junior Varsity team accomplished. Depth was the big factor in the Junior Varsity success, Morningside can look forward to a strong varsity basketball team next year, said Coach Brannigan of the JV basketballers.

The Bee squad could only manage a 3-lo seasonal record, but they showed a slight spurt of strength by winning two of the last three games. The Cee team could do little better with a 2-l7 yearly mark.

Varsity . . . WRE TLI G Despite many misfortunes, the MHS wres- tling team came through with its usual fine record. ln taking third in the rough Bay League behind perennial powers Mira Costa and Re- dondo and finishing in the top ten in CIF, the Monarchs were led by some of the best wres- tlers in ClF. The Boyd brothers, Sterling and George, took second and third respectively in CIF, while heavyweight Jim Miller also took a third. Fred Kross also might have been able to place in CIF but he was unable to wrestle because he graduated at midterm a week before the finals. Against Mira Costa, eventual CIF champ, the Monarchs lost by 6 points but could have won by lo, according to Coach Roelen, Jim Floor lost his match by l point in the closing seconds of the match. George Athans lost by l point on a penalty, and almost-certain-winner George Boyd at l3O could not wrestle because of an overweight problem. If any of these unfortunate incidents could have been reversed, Morning- side would have had an easy victory. During the course ofthe season the Monarchs won most of the dual meets and placed high in tournaments.
