19 3 3 I I I i i r a PAGE 3 1 Tennis Club t hree players winning their letters on last year’s championship team—Jack Cook, Jack Van Dyke, and Everett Stockstill- were members of the club again this year. Cook, tile outstanding singles’ champion of Southern Oregon for 1932, entered the 1933 season with his usual smashing style. The boys who tried out for the team this year were Jack Van Dyke. Everett Stockstill, George Jackson. Billy Gilmore, John Lilly, Tommy Blanchard, John Haman, Clay Linebaugh, and Lynn Tracy. The season this year was short because of a late spring, giving the ladder tournament a late start. Competition for number four and five places on the team turned out to be quite keen, giving good promise for the 1934 team. At the time this was written only one tournament had been played, on April 13. at Roseburg, when the local team defeated Roscburg with a score of 4 to 3. The season included tournaments with Medford, Klamath Falls, Ashland, and a second one with Roseburg.

This year three meets have absorbed the attention of the track athletes, the Southern Oregon Invitational Meet at Grants Pass on May I 3. and the state meet in Eugene on May 20 after which the spiked-shoes artists will hang up their togs for another year. As this story goes to press, the local team has competed in the Klamath Falls Meet and is hard at work, with the hopes of winning the Southern Oregon event. At Klamath Falls, the proteges of Mr. Deal took second place, just two points behind the victors from the Pelican City. First places were captured by Orr. in the high jump; J. Hamilton, in the low hurdles; Adams, in the mile. Winners of second place honors went to Adams, in the 880 yards run; Cook, in the discus throw; and L. Hamilton, in the high hurdles. Third place laurels were taken by Espey, in the discus; Iaylor, in the high hurdles; Towne. in the javelin: and by the Grants Pass relay team. Fourth places went to Shaw, in the 100 yard dash; Palmer, in the 880: Towne, in the shot; Burden, in the low hurdles. The Southern Oregon Meet is a district meet of the state to qualify men to go to the state meet. The first two place winners will be eligible to compete at Eugene. Present indications are that Grants Pass will be quite well represented at the state affair. The invitational meet, to be held in Grants Pass, gives promise of being one of the biggest interscholastic track events in Oregon, aside from the Portland city meet and the state meet. At the present time 19 schools have signified their intentions of sending teams. Should the local lads capture this meet it will be an accomplishment of which the people of Grants Pass may well be proud.
