i ' t Freshman Chet LeSourd strains to return a backhand during a home match at the Trojan courts. Netters go undefeated in regular season play 1 , yi: MJiJii Taylor tennis men domi- nated their competition in dev- astating fashion. Totally shutting out their first six opponents, they gave up only six points in nine matches. The big surprise of the season was the team ' s failure to take a sec- ond consecutive HBCC cham- pionship. The Trojans hope to amend this defeat in national ' s competition. The team was led by number one man and captain, Mike Server. The most valuable player was Chet Lesourd. Coach Sheldon Bassett is look- ing forward to next year ' s sea- son in which his entire team will return.
