TENNIS Green and Gold Racketeers Improved Previous Record The third varsity tennis season opened with a loss but the revengeful Cougars recovered quickly to hand defeat to their next two op- ponents. Tim Marks held the number one spot on the boys team while Rodney Cole held the second spot. A four game winning streak was abruptly stopped as they fell to Miami Beach, Coral Gables, and Palmetto. Cole and Bob Helin slammed the courts in doubles as Coral Park, Miami High, and Carol City were shat- tered before the duo. The girls team was led by Celeste Suydam and Linda Klein, holding the number one and two positions respectively. The girls achieved a 3-4 record while the boys team compiled a final record of 7-6. The majority of both teams were seniors and Coach Tom Ritzie predicted the next year as one for rebuilding as there were only two boys and two girls returning. The girls .tennis teamlmembers, Cleft to rightj Celeste Suydam, Bobbette Jaffee, Linda Klein, Debbie Bingham, Robin Ray had practices on fenced outdoor courts.

GOLF Courses, Opponents, Bad Odds Proved Short Work for Golfers The Killian Linksmen took to their courses again for the second season to prove they could compete in every sport, make a good showing and to pose a definite threat to any major high school. Two seniors and three freshmen led the way against teams like Columbus and Nliami High, who fell to a two point win. Norland, Miami Springs, Coral Park, and South- west each fell by one point. With an 8-6 record the team still had to improve before a championship, yet it was a marked improvement over last year's record. The secret to a good golfer is lots of prac- tice, said Coach Ed Stoeckel, and practice they got. On the Palmetto Golf Course, their home course, they got experience with nine hole matches and 18 hole championships. The team's main weakness was the lack of student interest and the number of play- ers. There were five boys on the team, with four boys in a match which consisted of nine holes. Jim Meekins, Scott Carter, Walter Oliver, Dale Quinn, Tom Burruss teed up to face opposing teams during season. 176 . My t E Aligning his shot for an attempt at a birdie was Walter Oliver, proving with his team mates, top contenders for awards in meets with other high schools.
