—THE CAROLINA TIMES SATURDAY, AUGUST 38, J 968 2-B Sports Video By KARL MASON Tim** Sp«rt> WHw CITY TCNNIS TOURNAMINT MARVELOUS The fourth annual City-Coun ty Tennis Tournament despite rain and hot weather was reel ed off last week and the first of this week at the Forest Hill clay courts. Play began last Wednesday morning but rain halted action briefly Thursday, Friday, Saturday and again Sunday. Despite the brief rain interruptions, the tournament was a success. Tournament Director, John Clemens did a marvelous job of handling the tourney and seeing that everything went along as planned. The tourna ment was sponsored by the Durham Recreation Dept. Some well-known names were missing from this year's tournament. Among the net swingers were Bonnie Logan, Joe Williama, and Whit Cobb. These three persons have claim ed titles in this annual affair either one or two years of the four summers that the tourna ment has been held. This was the first year the tourney has been held solely at the Forest Hills Courts. In previous years, the City has been permitted to use the courts at Duke University plus the Forest Hills Courts. With asset to the courts at Duke and Forest Hills, the tournament director had very little trouble trying to secure places for the netters to play. This gear's ac tion drew some 70 individual entrants however, some of these participants were included in more than one event. Last year's tournament drew 144 netters. ( For the first time in tne his tory of the tourney, a division for men over 40 was held. By doing this, the elderly men who possibly could not -with stand the pressure of the younger men in the men's sin gles division were able to play more or less in their class. * * • TENNIS OUTLOOK BRIGHT AT HILLSIDE After seeing several young bright tennis players partici / V School-Set Favorites by BUSTER BROWN BLACK NYLON ay.A $B.OO BLACK LEATHER EF.OWN LEATHER tyj-n *lO.OO n &z turn Here are some smart new ideas in school shoes from Buster Brown, as much fun to wear as they are long wearing.

Main Street pate in the tennis tournament, this pillar is inclined to be lieve that the tennis outlook at Hillside is good. Catherine Gamble, who finished Hillside this past June and will enter North Carolina College in Sep tember, made the finals in three divisions. Miss Gamble was seeded number one in the junior girl's singles and num ber two in the women's singles. Catherine, better known as "Moosie," won the women's singles but lost the junior girl's title. But she had a chance to redeem herself in the finals of the female's dou bles category. Miss Gamble teamed with Dorothy Bell in the junior girl's division and Deloris McCall in the •women's class. With Miss Gamble gone, Hill side tennis Coach Carl Easter ling has some more material to work with in the next few years. Gamble teamed with na tional ranked Bonnie Logan to win the NCHSAC Eastern Dis trict female tennis title for the last two years. Easterling stil has Bonnie to work with for two more years. Miss Logan was unable to participate in this year's city tournament be cause she was away playing in the American Tennis Associa tion Tournament at Wilber force. Ohio. Miss Logan won the women's singles title in this tourney at the expense of Bessie Stockard of Washington 8-6. 6-3. Easterling lost three of hia top female netters this year In Gamble, Bell, and Minnie Ful ler. Ben Page won the 14 and under boy's singles in the city tourney.

At M-M, some 34 can didates have be«n working hard on fundamentals and defense. Hillside spent the initial weelu on the basic fundamentals of the game and conditioning for some 65-70 gridders. Both teams have some things in common. Among these are the lack of a game experienced quarterback and the inexperi ence of the whole squads. Both teams have an unusual amount of first year men out for the team.

The tan stacs on this year's edition of the Houston Astros farm club are pitchers Juan Quintana, Ray Johnson, and Danny Rivas; outfielders Char lie Murray and Elijah (Tom) Johnson and infielders Eddie Pacheco and Jose Herrera. Quintana came to the Bulls late in the season and in his first start on the mound against Raleigh, the righthander hurled a no hitter against the Capitol City club winning l-O.
