The perennial rout of the area tennis teams by Webb players met with little competition in the regular season, as the Spartans posted an unblemished com- bined record of 8-0. Participating in four matches apiece, the boys and girls encountered relatively few setbacks during individual matches and found stiff competition in only the final rounds of the district tournament. During the regular season, Sam Patterson and David Link dominated boys' singles, while in the girls, division, Elizabeth Sharp, who won the State in singles, Cathy Greene, and Jenny Glover seldom lost even a game. The victims of the Spartans, mainly Bearden and West, boasted strong teams but did not have the overall depth that Webb had. In the District Tourna- ment, the most surprising victory came from Marco Garcia, who upset second-seeded Andy Russell in the quarter finals and thus earned a spot in the Regional Tournament. The boys' team was typified by the quality of the singles and well-molded action of the doubles play, which earned them a team victory. It is not sufficient to say that the girls' team won the team championship. It is more accurate to say that they walked off with five of the six possible qualifying positions. Of the four singles places, Elizabeth Sharp, Jenny Glover, and Cathy Greene took lst, 2nd, and 3rd respectively. The team also gained both doubles positions. The Lower School Tennis Team acquitted itself equally well. Triumphant over the traditional winner, the Bearden team, the Spartans took first in the city under Coach Clark's leadership. Marianne Sharp and Marsha Montgomery led the team. It is easy to see where the Varsity Team begins its career. Below is the triumphant team and above is triumphant Elizabeth Sharp, the State Tennis Champion. The Triumphant Webb Tennis Team Scores Again W, . ,K .3 1,1 . .

Hemmeter Sz Greer Help Golf Team Soar to New Height Led by John Hemmeter and John Greer, the golf team survived a slow three-loss start to post a 14-7 record for the season. Five golfers, John Hemmeter, John Greer, Mike Lane, Ben Harris, and Jimmy Alexander, formed the basic team. In two battles against their toughest competitor, the Bearden team, the Webb team won one and lost one. The season was capped off by the News-Sentinel Prep Masters Tournament. The team placed fifth, with John Greer and John Hemmeter capturing third and fifth, respectively. The team also placed fifth in the District. John Hemmeter tied for third but lost in the play-offs. Since the foundation of the team is composed of sophomores and freshmen, the outlook for next year with the continued leadership of Coach Luttrell is favorable. 80 ATHLETICS
