Valley got off to a fast start in their seasonts play, defeat- ing Pierce, Glendale twice and upsetting the powerful USC Frosh. The only Mon- arch loss was to the nation's number one team, UCLA's Frosh. The Valley-Santa Monica meeting was slated to be a grudge affair, since the Cor- sairs had administered Val- ley's only 1961 loss, while the Monarchs had snapped a 67 straight SMCC winning streak in an earlier encounter. The 1962 Corsairs figured to be just as strong as last year, but repeating champion- ships is never an easy task, even for favorites. ' 1122? T, ..,..:.,f......... .xiii ' - ' '21- ..

Looking for second title After coach Mark Mat- thews' Monarch tennis team posted a 17-1-1 record to fin- ish third in the state in 1961, possibilities for an encore seemed too much to be hoped for. Santa Monica, perenni- ally solid contenders for Metro Conference honors, couldn't let the Valley squad top them two years in a row. Early season results showed that Matthew's men have the potential to repeat as cham- pions of the conference, even though they lost spectacular Chuck Rombeau, state singles champion. Four returning lettermen, three fine fresh- men and the return of Al- phonse Suastegui from the ranks of the ineligible gave Valley fans high hopes for the '62 net season. 4 ,af rf. . , gzip 1, V ' YH ,. ,,.
