l J 5 I ,. T 3 ' PLAYING THE NET TENNIS This year a solid beginning was made in the foundation of a far reaching in depth tennis de- velopment program at Ken-Mont. The keystone for this program Was the repeated and frequent indi- vidual instruction of the campers, and concentrated play and coaching with an instructor. The benefits and results of this approach began to show this season. The Sp-arrows, Robins and even Bluejays were encouraged to enter the program. Many showed promise and interest even at this early age. Among the Bluejays PAUL FELDAN h-ad fine potential and coupled with this, an outstanding atti- tude. Others were PETER NEWMAN, JON DOP- PELT and MIKE PRELL. For the Spiarrows the top c'Comers were BOB COVEN, JEFF GOLD, BRAD GOLDBERG and J ON GOLDWATER. The Robins produced a large number of future tennis players led by MIKE LAZERWITZ who was unsurpassed in dedication and rate of improvement. Joining him were SCOTT WEBER, JACK SCHULMAN, JAY KRAMER, MIKE ROSEN, LOREN KLEINMAN and LENN Y RUSSELL. Scanning the Falcons, particular mention should go to ALAN ABRAMSON, DREW HOLDER, PETER WOLPERT, BOB MANDEL, MIKE REINERT and JOHN SHEVELL. The Cardinals had standouts in STACEY SIMON, BOB REIGER, DAVE WINSTON, ALAN DONNENFELD and DOUG FIGHT. The Hawks as a group had the greatest number of boys who responded to teaching and sought to improve their court skills. Among their future f'greats were HOWARD KUNIN, MARK SHA- PIRO, SCOTT ELLIOTT, MATTY NATHEL, JON TUMEN, KEN LEIBOWITZ, JIM LIEF, ANDY MAYER, MITCH HORWITZ, DOUG BLAU, BOB LEVINE, CLIFF ROSENBERG, MARK BARNETT, MIKE MANASEVIT, BRUCE SMITH, PAUL LOCKE, RON KORY, GEORGE COREN, KEN ROTHENSTEIN, JIM ROTTMAN and BRUCE EPSTEIN.

The Eagles produced a good part of our strength this summer in development with RICH WALDMAN, SKIP SCHMIDT, DAVE GREEN- BAUM, DENNY HELFMAN, BILL COHEN and BOB STEINWURTZEL. Dodos to whom recognition should be extended were SCOT KRUGMAN, GIL LEVINE, PETE TUNIS, DAVID SIMON, JEFF EAGLE and JON BARNETT. In -conjunction with the emphasis on the coach- ing of the individual tennis player, a broad horizon for testing these skills was offered. There were the divisional ladder tournaments and elimination tour- naments to determine champions. Ken-Mont boys embarked on 'a rigorous inter- eamp schedule of nine matches during the summer. The -competitio-n in all these was handled with many tense moments and in many of these matches we saw the sharp edge of competition bring a new lustre and concentration to the boys' game. Our opponents were Clamps Mah-Kee-nac, Kent, Rob- inson Crusoe, Potomac, Buck's Rock and Grey- lock. In some matches as many as twenty-five players from Ken-Mon-t saw action. Another highlight this seas-on was our entrance into three inter-camp tournaments: Scatico, against nine camps, Potomac, against eighteen camps, and Greylock, against fifteen camps. Again in competi- :1'::.'- '-l ,,yg.E,,.M,.-,,,, THE PROPER GRIP tion, our players acquitted themselves well by ad- vancing to quarter-final and semi-final rounds. Those who stepped into tournament and match play for Ken-Mont were SCOTT KRUGMAN, GIL LEVINE, PETE TUNIS, DAVID SIMON, JEFF EAGLE, DAVE GREENBAUM, JOHN LEVEN- THAL, BILLY COHEN, DENNY HELFMAN, RICK KANE, BOB STEINWURTZEL, TODD GOODMAN, DAVE HUTNER, TED MAYER, NEAL GARDNER, DOUG BLACK, RON KORY, MIKE MANASEVIT, MARK BAR- NETT, MATTY NATHEL, KEN LEIBOWIT Z, JIM LIEF, ANDY MAYER, BOB REIGER, STACEY SIMON, RICH FRANK, RANDY GOODMAN, MARC GARDNER and STAN LEIBOWITZ. One of our players, RICH WALDMAN, in each of the above tournaments had the ur1ique coin- cidence ot drawing the same opponent for all three tournaments in his first round match. The future success of Ken-Mont tournament par- ticipation appears excellent with so much interest, and so many good young players developing. Ken- Mont is taking its place among the top tennis camps.
