Hilleyis netters swept to their eleventh consecutive conference title in 1962 and upped their con- secutive undefeated match play string to 56 wins.

Veteran john Maloney defeated teammate Al Driscole in an all-Lamar Tech finals in that tournament, 2-6, 9-7, 6-l, to capture the NCAA singles championship while Maloney and Tim Heckler won by de- fault over Driseole and team captain Rollin Spengler to capture the doubles crown. Leg cramps forced Driseole out of the doubles play.
