X fi '-f' fa ' WIHHIHllilllllllllllllll li n llllllllllllllllllllllllW mi 1 ' Tennis Tournament The Tennis Tournament this year brought out more entries and more high class tennis than ever before in the history of the event. There were exactly 30 entries in the tourney. Had Tilden been entered he would have had to extend himself to rival some of the experts from Ozark Wesleyan. The tournament was won by John Dennison when he vanquished Vernon Bradford in the finals in four hard-fought sets. The scores were 6-4, 6-3, 3-6, 6-3. In the first match of the finals, there being three, Dennison had whipped Collier 9-7, 8-6, in some very spectacular tennis, in some places of the match the best of the tournament. Those 'entered in the tournament and the pairings for the first round are as fol- lows: Willington Winchester vs. Vernon Bradford, Basil Kirby vs. Ralph Ross, Benny 'Martin vs. Sydney Eells, Herbert Van Fleet vs. William Johnson, Homer Magill vs. Paul Baker, Galen Campbell vs. Homer Mote: Woodson Oldham vs. Raymond Tomlin- Lson, Garet Cummings vs. Wrey Rout, Donald Collier vs. Angus Springer, Glen Peck vs. Harold Ward, Lloyd Cowgill vs. O. B. Duffendack, Charles Cummings vs. Byron Moore, Walter Baird vs. Charles James, John Dennison vs. Ancel Lewis, Burke Rand vs. Warren Foster. On his way to the finals and to the championship Dennison disposed of Ancel Lewis, Charles James, Warren Foster, and Donald Collier before meeting Bradford. Bradford won over Willington Winchester, Basil Kirby, and Ray Rout before losing to Dennison. Collier the third man to reach the finals, tooik a forfeit from Springer, and beat Peck and Cowgill before falling before Dennison. The final match between Dennison and Bradford displayed some very good and at times some rather poor tennis. Both men played an even, steady game without much hard driving. Dennison vanquished his rival with superior work at the net, he being easily the class of the tourney at this branch of the game. Bradford played a good back court game but had a streak of driving into the net on numerous occasions, which had much to do with his downfall. It was an exceptionally well-played match, only proving again that a good big man can beat a good little man in this sport as in others. Collier in his match with Dennison played some spectacular tennis, at times the best in the tournament. But he was particularly unsteady at other times, contributing more than anything else to his defeat. Taken all in all, the tournament was by far the most successful yet held. There hasl been more interest in. the tennis game this spring than ever before, so much in fact that another court was put into shape by the players. Not only boys but girls made good use of the two college courts. The game is growing more and more popu- lar with the college students, and rightly so, ior it is a game that requires skill, stam- ina, a good eye and a steady hand, and a 'clear mind. May tennis grow more and more as a major sport in the hearts of our students. Wlfllllllilllllllllllllllllllllllll U W HIHIHHIlllllllIII4IIIIlHIIHHIl'7

Wllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll HlllllllllllllllllllllllllHIWW Freshman-Sophomore Track Meet The freshman and sophomore classes of Ozark Wesleyan battled gallantly on the cinder paths and in the field April 25 and after many soul-stirring and grueling races the freshmen forged ahead to break' thu tape 2 points in front of the sophs. The final score was 53-51 with the- freshmen on the long end. By all the right of track pro- ceedures the sophomores should have won be'cause they issued the bloody challenge to the yearling lion cubs but when they met the doughty freshmen their best efforts were not sufficient and so the victory bird perched on the colors of the flying fresh- men. The sophomores led in number of first places, making six firsts to the freshmen's five and tying the freshmen for first in the high jump. The yearlings had the honor of garnering the most points but the sophomores fur- nished the high point man of the day in the person of O. S. Headlee, a man mighty in field events and skilled in. the art of using his great bulk scientifically. He picked up 20 points in the course of events. Of these, three were first, and a third. He won the discus, broad jump, shot put, and tied with Cowgill in the high jump for first. Headlee led the procession of scor:-s with twenty points, Christman and Rout each had ten points to their credit and Cowgill and Moore came next with nine points. The outcome -of the meet was in doubt until thee last event, the half mile relay. The sophomores were leading in points until then but the freshmen copped the race to win the meet by the narrow margin already mentioned. The whole college was represented in the meet although it was called the fresh- men-sophomore meet. The academy combined with the freshmen, the junior college assisted the sophomores. Both the academy and the juniors aided materially in the scoring. SUMMARY Shot put-Headlee, sophomore, iirstg Baker, freshman, second, Moore, freshman, third. Distance 39 feet, 7 inches.
