Tew And Bullock, Reams And Britt,
Singles Champs In School Tourney
Kenneth Tew and Lillian Bui-'*
lock added new laurels to thek
already well-weighted tennis
crowns by winning the boys’ and
girls championships in the Moore
County Schools tournament last
week.
Tew successfully defended his
1953 title by defeating Julian
Pleashnts, while Lillian defeated
defending-champion Gad Hobson,
of Pinehurst.
The two champs then, with
partners, copped the doubles titles
too. Kenneth and his brother
Lemuel defeated Julian Pleasants
and Bobby Parker, and Lillian
' teamed with Patty Britt to beat
Patti Woodell and Gail Hobson.
A notable feature of the tourna
ment was the emergence of young
Lemuel Tew as a likely follower
in the footsteps of brother Ken
neth, \yho was state boys’ cham
pion in 1952. Besides teaming with
Kenneth to win the high school
division doubles, Lemuel was
runner-up in singles, and a mem
ber of the winding doubles team,
in the grammar grade group.

doubles championships at the
Eastern Carolina junior tourna

Invitational.

rainy weather, also the participa
