Page Four. THE SALEMITE Friday, February 7, 1941. c IP T jr CHAMPIONS IN ACTION Several Saleniites went to the tennis matches in Chapel Hill Wednesday. Playing were the four great champions: Donald Budge, Bill Tilden, Alice Marble and Mary Hardwick. The matches were held in the Woolen gymnasium. At o’clock Wednesday afternoon Miss Eleanor Tennant, coach of Alice Marble, held a “tennis clinic” in which she answered questions con cerning the game. Miss Tennant answered questions concerning the forehand drive, backhand and the serve. This great coach also told something of the ability of the four players who were to plaj'j that night. Miss Tennant emphasized the fact that our strokes should not be jerky and stiff and her favorite expression in illustrating this point was “Easy does it." S,he instruct ed several Carolina students and pointed out their main faults. At 8:15 Alice Marble and Mary Hardwick met in the first match. Miss Marble is the woman’s champion and she has been called the Glamour Girl of the Courts. Miss Hardwick is English No. 1 woman player and since 1937 no English woman was defeated her. Miss Marble won this match in two out of three sets. The next match was between Donald Budge and Bill Tilden. Mr. Budge, the men’s champion^ tells the story his mother said when she learned Donald was serious about tennis. “Well, my boy Don may never get to be the best tennis player in the world, but they’ll have a hard* time keeping him from being the homeliest.” “Big Bill” Tilden is now 47 years old and not even Father Time can stop him. These two players had time to play only two sets of which Tilden won the first and Budge the second. In the doubles match Marble and Tilden won over Budge and Hard wick. Managing these four champions is Jack Harris and he has arranged approximately sixty matches in five months. During this time they will travel about 25,000 miles and use about $1,000 worth of tennis balls. Those who saw these matches will remember Alice Marble’s perfect timing, Mary Hardwick’s ability to move so quickly, “Big Bill” Tilden’s smashing serve and Donald Budge’s forehand and red mop of hair. Among approximately 3,000 people were these Salemites: Miss Atkinson, Peggy Burnette, Jill Nierinburg, Betty Vanderbilt, Mary Elizabeth Band and Sara Henry. S. H.
