Netters Finish With 9-4 Slate, Place 2nd in District Meet 'This was a turnabout year for us , stated Coach Dick Allen. ul was more of a supervisor, the boys taught me a lot about tennis. In his second and last year as tennis coach at Central, Mr. Allen helped direct the netters to a 9-4 dual meet record. The Maroons opened up the 'I974 season on April 2nd with a victory over Rantoul. One week later they were vic- torious over the Danville netmen, a team which had convincingly defeated Central in the 1973 campaign. Central lost to Rantoul and Centennial later in the year by the score of 5-4. ln the Bloomington tournament, the team voted to withdraw from the contest because of alleged rule infractions and seeding violations on the part of the tournament of- ficials. The team made strong finishes in both District and Conference, with second and third place showings. Captain Paul Hummel, the number l player for the netters, was the only senior this year. With this in mind, the Maroons expect bigger and better things next year.
