OIOIO Balanced Tennis Squad Plays Well ln Matchesf Veterans and Recruits Guarantee Good Season The tennis team with a good balance ot seasoned veterans and ambitious new talent taced the spring campaign with confidence and hopetul expectations. The holclovers were Captain Phil Shapiro, Johnny Morse, Ted Solomon, and Ed Smith, all experienced players trom the preceding season. Shapiro and Morse stepped into their old singles positions while the latter two are more adept at doubles. Dick Shapiro, winner ot the tall tourney, clinched one ot the three singles positions, while the other recruits supplied the needed sparlc to set a top-notch team in action. The main task this year was to tind two reliable doubles com- binations capable ot playing sure steady tennis. A spectacular game is not required, but good torcing shots that can be relied upon are vital. The boys must be able to get along with each other on or ott the court. Besides the regular W. l. A. A. schedule which started May 2, matches with other schools were boolced by Manager l-larvey Scobel and Faculty Adviser Robert Dodds. Captain Philip Shapiro TOP: Scobel, Mr. Dodds, Captain P.
