team not graduating and by next year

combination could always be depended

Undefeated West Georgia Tennis-Team Claims State Championship
AMERICUS DEFEATED 4-0
BY GREAT W. G. C. TEAM
The West Georgia .tennis team de
feated Georgia Southwestern 40 at
Amertcus on May 18. Each member
of the team played the best tennis
of which he is capable in this match.
Beverly Campbell probably starred as
he played the best.tennis of his col
legiate career to defeat Dan Grahl b-3,
do, dI. Grahl did not have a chance
against Campbell’s terrific forehand,
brilliant backhand and general all
around steadiness. Beverly jumped
into an early lead which he maintain
ed throughout the entire match.
Harris Hay played his usual excel
lent game and defeated llayes Mc-
Math 0-4, 63, 6-3. Me Math was a
splendid player but he was never in
the game so far as a chance at victory
was concerned. This match did
furnish some pretty tennis for the
rather large crowd of spectators that
witnessed the matches.
Norwood Plovd defeated Clarence
Graddick in a terrifically hard-fought
encounter 63, 26, 6-4, 5-7, 0-3. In
every set Floyd had to try to over
come a 2 0 lead that Graddick always
managed to gain. Graddick was lead
ing 3-1 in the fifth set when Floyd
suddenly regaTlfed his form, lie Won
5 straight games and, incidentally, the
match.
Campbell amd Hay defeated M'c-
Math and Grahl <512, 0 3 to demon
strate again that they are one of the
host doubles teams in any junior col
lege in the state. Their team-play
was faultless, and they covered every
inch of the court perfectly, with con
fusion. Both Campbell amd Hay play
ed extremely well at the net.
Georgia Southwestern fell victim to
the undefeated West Georgia tennis
team 3-1 on the Carrollton courts on
May 11.
These matches furnished two five
set encounters, Beverly Campbell win
ning his match from Dan Grahl and
Norwood Floyd losing West Georgia’s
one match to Clarence Graddick
All of the matches were well played
and they were all hard fought
with the exception of the May-Mc-
Math match which Hay won 6-2, 6-2,
6 1. Hay didn’t give McMath a chance
at any time during the match. He
was good on the back line; he was
excellent in midcourt; and, he couldn't
be passed at the net, so it was just a
case of McMath trying to do the im
possible that day at least. Hay was
decidedly the superior player.
■ Campbell simply outsteadied his op
ponent. to win. Gralil gave him a tough
fight. He carried him to five sets be
foro losing, but Beverly just kept im
proving throughout the match. If he
had played as well all through the
match as he did in the fifth set the
match would have been much shorter.
Clarence defeated Norwood
Floyd in another Marathon match that
■lasted several minutes over three hours.
The scores were 9-33, 8-6, 5-7, 6-0, 6-2.
Floyd was almost exhausted in the
final two sets after being forced to
run from one side of the court to the
oflM>r by Graddick’s excellent plac
ing of shots.
Hay and Campbell won the doubles
6-3, 6-4. They defeated McMath and
Graddick. This was just another case
of Campbell and Hay’s being just too
good for the opposition.

A. S. T. C. NET MEN
In the final match of the season the
men's tennis team defeated Alabama
State Teachers’ College in Jackson
ville to the tune of 3-0.
Harris Hav easily trimmed Edward
Howell the rival Number one man 6 2,
<5 1. Hay played excellent tennis
throughout" the match. He made se
veral beautiful returns of balls that
loooked impossible to get. These re
turned seemed to break Sewell’s
spirit.
Beverly Campbell defeated James
Williams 10 8, 4-0, 7-5 after ho was
apparently beaten, Beverly was trail
ing 4-1 in the last set with Williams
serve coming up. At this point he
broke through Williams’ serve, wiu
ning his own, this time breaking
through he tied the score at 5-5. With
the score tied he didnot feel the pres
sure so keenly for he quickly ran out
the set by winning the next two
games.
Norwood Floyd defeated his number
three opponent, Glenn Nelson, 6-2, 6-3.
There w'hs never much doubt as to the
outcome of this match as Nelson lack
ed the steadiness to compete with
Floyd. With the score 4-3 Floyd
broke through Nelson and then won
his own serve t u w 7 in tho set and the
match.
The doubles were called on ac
count of darkness with West Georgia
leading 2-love in the third set.
I guess you all heard about the mess

recommendations that the Student
Placement Bureau could get for her.
As she went to see some trustees, car
rying her credentials she lost them.
Frantic, she called o a friend to help
her before she attended the hoard
meeting. He did; he wrote: “Fran
ces Cruse had a good reputation when
she left West Georgia but lost it on
the way over.”
Mrs. Almon was much chagrined
when Chick refused to take Latin in

GIRLS TEAM DEFEATS
COX COLLEGE 4-2
The West Georgia girls’ tennis team
overw'helmed the Cox College aggrega
tion 4-2 on the school courts May 23.
Thelma Andrews defeated her south
paw opponent, Tiny Cordell, 6-3, 10-8.
Thelma easly won the first set as Miss
Cordell could not compete with her
hard driving game. She ran into
trouble in the second set. Miss Cor
dell, playing a steadier game of tennis
than she did in the first set, had two
set points but she was never able to
win them. Thelma rallied ond tied
the score at 5 all and then finally the
set and match at 10-8.
Imogene Allgood defeated Pauline
Longin 0 6-2, 1-6, 6-3. Pauline gave
Miss Allgood a terrific battle before
being defeated. After losing the first
set Pauline played a superior brand of
tennis but she seemed exhausted for
the final set. She was not able to
cover the court as well as she had
been doing and Miss Allgood, by ex
cellent placing of shots, won the de
ciding set.
Grace Wing defeated Margaret
Ware in a number three singles en
gagement 6-1, 6-1. Grace played ex
cellent tennis throughout the match,
and she didn’t give her opponent
a chance. She was simply unbeatable
for that day at least.
Ruth Staples defeated Martha All
bright for West Georgia’s third singles
victory of the day 6-2, 6-2. Ruth was
in every way superior to her oppon
ent. The scores are just about a true
measure of tho difference between
the two girls.

Miss Cordell 2-6, 6-2, 6-2. They start
ed very strong in the first set and
seemed to have the match won,
but Pauline was stll exhausted from
her singles match and she was not
able to hit her shots properly.
Grace Wing and Ruth Staples de
feated Katherine Bishop and Lucy
Carlton for West Georgia’s doubles
victory 6-1, 6-3. From the first game
until the last one it was just a ques
tion of how many games the West
Georgia girls would let their victims
have.
The girls’ tennis team defeated Oox
College on the College Park courts 2-1.
Thelma Andrews defeated Imogene
Allgood 62, 6-3 to take the number
one singles. There was not much ex
citement to this match as Thelma was
the decidedly better player. Grace
Wing lost to Sara Cordell 7-5, 6-3 in
the No. three angles. Pauline Longin 0
and Thelma Andrews defeated Imo
gene Allgood and Sara Cordell 6-2, 6-1.
