skill and stamina in rugged league Our sophomore tennis squad developed many new skills and techniques to improve their own personal style of play. Every day they faithfully practiced at the Dwight D. Eisenhower High School courts, as we did not as yet have proper facilities for tennis. Coach Yates used his own well-developed style to teach the future tennis stars. Much valuable advice was needed and given to insure better quality in our tennis matches in future varsity play. Ready to warm up for a game, Ken Cooley and Dale jurich looked forward to action with pleasure.
