Tennis and Golf Starting the 1938 net season with three lettermen, Brice, Van Gundy, and Woodward, Salina High looked forward to a good year. But early in the season the first mishap came with the loss of Roger Brice, who took a job. Later on in the season Grover Cobb, squadman from the year before who was proving very valuable this year, was forced to drop out because of an eye infection. . The Mustangs carried on, however, and ended a successful season with a squad composed of three seniors, a junior lettering, and several up and coming underclassmen, ready to take over for future Mustang tennis teams. The lettermen were David McCarty, junior, John Lynch, Bob Van Gundy, and Bob Woodward, sen- iors. The llatter two earned their second tennis letter this year. Bill Bishop, also a senior ably filled in several match.es, and was the winner of the inter-class tennis tourney played in October. Scott Harvey, fresh- man, was also used in some of the matches and should prove very valuable to Maroon tennis teams during his remaining three years at S. H. S. Opening the spring season with Hutchinson late in March, the Mustang netmen played in several tennis meets during the last two months of the school year. Roger Brice, Bob Woodward, Bob Van Gundy, Grover Cobb, John Lynch, and David McCarty, accompanied by C. E. Bare, tennis coach, represented Salina High in the Hutchinson meet. The same squad with the exception of Roger Brice played matches with Lindsborg netmen the second week in April. Other tennis meets entered by the Maroon players were the Central Kansas Invitational held April 30 and the Central Kansas League tournament played May 5 in Salina. GOLF SEASON: This year concluded the high school golfing career of Phil Johnson and Leroy Price who have competed together in C. K. L. golf for the last three years. Johnson also played for S. H. S. in his freshman year. For Johnson it was just another golf game, finishing for the fourth straight year as low medalist in the meet at Herington and completing one of the most suc- cessful stands of any Salina High golfer. Price was teamed with Johnson when Salina High won third place in the C. K. L. meet held in October at Herington. Two other seniors who have been working along with the golf team for the past two seasons are Jim Surface and Bill Mundy. Al- though handicapped by their play on grass greens, these boys helped the team considerably, especially in the April 30th Emporia meet where the team placed second in an invitational event. Surface and Mundy were second and third low to Johnson at this meet. The prospects for Maroon golf for next year cannot be too strong with the loss of four such excep- tionally strong senior players, but many underclassmen will have a chance to prove their worth.
