I930 Tenni By Bill Howard Hynes Serves a Deadly Ball W, INDING up his long career as tennis coach at the Uni- versity of Washington, Jimmy Arbuth- not developed a strong net entry that tied with Oregon for the Northwest title. The Webfeet had previously been almost invincible, having won six con- secutive matches from the hluskies the year before. During his stay here, Arbuthnot de- veloped Wally Scott, who won the National Intercollegiate singles title several years ago, and also turned out a number of slightly less capable rac- quet wielders. The Husky racquet squad opened the season by defeating the Olympic Club team, 8-0, and trouncing the Seattle Tennis Club outfit, five matches to four. Billy Newkirk and Lloyd Nordstrom won a hard three-set match from Langlie and De Turenne, 7-5, 2-6, 8-6, to de- cide the latter fray. Opening the Intercollegiate season, Washington defeated Oregon State five matches to two. Nordstrom, New- kirk, Hoyt, hlynes and McClarren car- ried the burden for Washington. The Huskies tied with Oregon, 3-3, in a match played at Eugene to decide the Northwest champion. Lockwood and Almquist of the Webfeet proved too strong for the Huskies and carried their four-man team through to a tie. In the fight for the Coast Confer- ence doubles crown, Nordstrom and Newkirk of Washington lost to Foster and Hall of Stanford, 6-4, 6-0. The Huskies had little trouble dispos- ing of Washington State in a dual meet a week later and won every match. Washington closed the season by nos- 181
