TENNIS With but a single letterman showing up when tennis practice started late in February, Glendale had no hopes for a successful season. Coach Roy Jellison took over the racket- wielders, however, and shortly uncovered some promising material. LeRoy Shugart immediately came to the fore as an outstanding singles player, ranking second singles early in the season ' s plav. Gene Make, letterman, showed his usual brilliant play throughout the practice tilts, and took his post as first singles player for Glendale. Gilliam made rapid strides after the start of the season and placed as third player in the singles matches. Fourth smgles player was the position that Rill Magness garnered as the season progressed. Doubles combinations were a bit harder to locate, but the Coss brothers, Allan and Fred, soon forged ahead to present a formidable pair. The other doubles players were continually shifted as the season wore on, with Strickland, Gilliam, and Reed alternating to make the pair. The first match of the year was won by the Glendale racketeers when they downed the Long Beach Woodrow Wilson outfit, 11 to 6. Mako and West each copped in the singles matches, while Strickland and Gilliam combined to take their doubles matches. A vast improvement over the match with the El Monte team was evidenced by the locals in their match with South Pasadena. This latter match was lost, 9 to 8. The Glendale digits were made when Mako won his first singles match and Magness and Coss teamed up to take the first doubles encounter. In the first conference match of the season, Cilendale lost to Long Beach, 17-0. Shugart, Magness, Reed, and Richards played the singles matches in the order named. The brothers Coss played first, and Strickland and Gilliam t he second doubles matches. The locals were handicapped in this match by the absence of their stellar captain, Mako, who was competing in the boys smgles tournament at Ojai. Collecting four out of six matches on a wet and dark day, the San Diego netmen took the second conference meet, 12 to 5. Gilliam, first Glendale singles, dropped a hard- fought match to Whitney. Yeager and Shugart each took a set before the latter man forfeited the match because of rain. Bert Richards, Glendale netman, dropped his match to Henneberg in the third singles. Bob Reed, fourth singles for the locals, collected when he took over Crispin, Cave- man racketeer, in straight sets. Exceptionally good form was displayed by the Coss brothers when they took their doubles match from Smith and Baines. Results from later matches were not obtainable when the Stylus went to press.
