LUNG PCCDHNIF' - THQINIAL 3 Nl 68I-l36I Member F.D.l.C. 7807 Long Poinl Tennis players hibernate in indoor clubs - Practice in freezing weather Less eager tennis players hibernated during the cold, rainy season but some still continued their daily exercise at indoor tennis clubs. Most popular were the Hoston Indoor Tennis Club, Met- ropolitan Racquet Club, the University Club, and ChancelI0r's Racquet Club. The number of courts in the indoor clubs ranged anywhere from 8 to I4 courts. Surfaces vary also: some were rubberized, others laykold. Houston Indoor Tennis Club is located nearby on Bunker Hill Road and has eight courts. Freshman Brian Childs said, I like Houston Indoor because it is so convenient for me. One of the larger clubs was the Met- ropolitan Racquet Club located down- town at One Allen Center. The Met has I4 courts. Sophomore Johnny Park said, The Met was really a 'rainy day' tennis players club because all of it's courts were indoors. The Galleria holds another popular tennis club: The University Club, with I0 courts. Sophomore Caron Neuen- schwander said, I liked The Univer- sity Club, a Iotg I even looked forward to rainy days so I had an excuse to make my mom take me all the way out there to play. I like The University Club because it is usually not that crowded so you didn't have to wait long to get a court. said Sophomore Elizabeth Moore. Chancellor's Racquet Club. on Dumfries also had ten indoor courts for their members. So homore Lamar Morris said. The inciioor facilities at Chancellor's was great! He added. I liked to play there a lot. Sophomore Carol Rosenfeld said, I guess I was one of thsoe less eager ten- nis players because when it was cold and rainy Ijust didn't make an effort to get out and play! Indoor playing had one definite advantage: it never was too hot or too cold. - 30 - 3- Carrie Campbell ON A SUNDAY, TENNIS PROVIDES ENJOYABLE EXERCISE for Carrie Cambell. Four,courts were available behind the school when the team was not around and the weather was nice. It these were not accessible, tennis buffs could descend on Memorial arid Spring Branch Junior High or on the area country clubs, including the Rac- quet Club, and Houston Indoor Tennis Club.

His mind is ponder- ing a subject much more important than English: Where should he go for lunch? Mouthwatering pictures of ribs smothered in barbeque sauce. fat and juicy hamburgers, salted french fries and ketchup. and giant glasses of iced tea float through Arnold's mind. But he is abruptly awakened from his dreams by his English teacher's voice. Arnold's dream is for real - there is a place where one can eat food that makes one's mouth water. The place is a restaurant called Luther's. Lutheris is an unimpressive-looking building on the corner of Gessner and Westheimer. It looks a bit like a barn with a porch and porch swing. The inside is much the same. Tables cover the entire floor and food is gotten cafeteria-style. There are bins near the cash register filled with pickles. Jala- peno peppers. onions and other relishes to add to a hamburger or ribs. Despite the casual atmosphere. Luther's serves great food. lts specialty is barbeque, but the hamburgers are equally as good as are the beans, potato salad. and king-size drinks. There are two Luther's in Houston: Luther's Number One on Fountain- view and Luther's Number Two on Westheimer. Luther's is an expansion of The Great Mine Company. No one knows exactly how Luther's got its name. One story is that there was a one- armed man named Luther on the own- er's ranch and that's where he got the name. said Luther's Number Two manager Steve Mott. The restaurant attracts literally every walk of life. said Mott, but mainly upper-middle class people. Its busiest hours were from 11:15 a.m. to one p.m. and lot of the lunch customers were students. Lutheris collaborates yearly with the March of Dimes to hold a hamburger eating contest. It is held every summer. outdoors. at Luther's Number One and among some of the people who have attended are Farrah Fawcett's sister, Dan Pastorini, and Marvin Zindler. 'IWe've been written up in Business Week and People, stated Mott about the contest's publicity. Business at Luther's was better than that of some of the city's largest steak restaurants. We do more in half a day than what others do in a full day, said Mott. Spreading nationwide is planned in the restaurant's future and present plans are to establish three more Luther's in Houston and two out of state in Oklahoma City and Denver. We are planning to expand as fast as we can obtain employees. Mott stated. Luther's had good food. but every time I shoved a chopped steak-burger in my mouth, some good-looking guy walked past. said Junior Melinda Miller. So whether for food or just for fun. Luther's was a good place to eat. As mouthwatering as Arnold's daydream. ..30- - Debbie Lalrrdowne
