TENNIS CLUB 1969 u Despite severe restrictions on play due to the inclement weather, the tennis courts continued to be 21 popular attraction for many boys of all ages. Apart from regular activity periods, several boys, P3ff1CU121r1y in the younger age divisions, spent free Play periods in further work towards perfection of the-basic play skills. The standard of play was noticeably improving towards the end of camp. In the tournaments arranged for the upper camp several exciting matches resulted in an all round enthusiastic competition. Color War with its fierce rivalry produced several matches lasting two hours and more before being decided by a single game. For the first time special short handled teaching rackets were used to enable the youngest boys from BLUEJAYS and SPARROWS to start learning the game, with rackets more suited in size to the small boys- Many progressed successfully to use their own ffrlckets after only a few lessons, and we hope for 501116 great players developing in future years. A The ROBINS group had some great potential this year. MARK SECKLER, LEONARD ES- FORMES and STEPHEN FUHRMAN were pray- ing good tennis by the end of the summer and much hard work was put in to improvement by RICKY SCHAFFER, KEITH HARTLEY, BART SCHNEIDERMAN and FRED MEYERS. Enthusiasm in the FALCON group waned a little this year, but SCOTT LeBOLT should do well if his interest is retained, and STEVE and PETER FASS were enthusiastic players during regular activity. The CARDINALS produced a line combination of talent and enthusiasm with MIKE LAZERWIT Z and MIKE ROSEN continuing their progress of previous years. Both are now ably competing with much older boys and became an effective doubles pair playing together. JAY KRAMER, LOREN KLEINMAN, ION SCHOTTLAND and SCOTT WEBER all progressed showing considerable poten- tial, but their time and eiforts were restricted by versatility in so many other sports. BOB KRIEGER must be complemented for his outstanding improve- ment since last year ranking him now among the top players of his group.
