Miss Logan
to tread Gibson path
j spotts wiitr of Tht Christian Science Monitor*
Bonnie Logan is no second Althea Gibson
least, not yet. But she is certainly the
I rat)»t-promising woman tertnis player oi her
I race since that great athlete turned her
attention and talents to golf.'
The complaint that American tennis play
ers are not really hungry enough to work
sufficiently hard for success is frequently
heard these days. It's usually leveled against
the men. There's no prospect that it will ever
be heard of Miss Logan.
"I want to do better than Althea," said
this 17-year-old from Durham, N.C. "I-want
to win Wimbledon and Forest Hills.
"It's true that there are a lot of players
better than I am at the moment," she con
ceded. "But I think that most of the girls
I am playing against now don't want to win
in the same way I do. When they get over
18 many of them drop out of tennis alto
gether."
In the recent Girls' Indoor Championships
at the North Shore Tennis and Squash Club
in Salem, Mass., Miss Logan won her first
United States national .title. She lost in the
• 18-and-under singles final to Judy Dixon of
Essex Falls, N.J., ft—2, 6—3. But partnered
by Evelyn Haase of Cliffside Park, N.J., she
Reversed the tables somewhat by winning
the doubles crown from Miss Dixon and
Jad£ ' Schiffman of Riverdale, N.Y., I—6,
7—5, 9—7.
Forfeited title
To an extent that triumph made up for
a major disappointment Bonnie experienced
a few years ago. She actually won the Na
tional Girls' 11-and-under singles title in
1961. But owing to a misunderstanding of
the requirements it was discovered that she
had turned 12 during the tournament. And
unhappily she had to forfeit her crown to
Sheryl Smith.
There was some consolation eyen then,
however. She was voted a National Merit
award for her performance by Sports Illus
trated magazine.
At sft. 4in. and 115 pounds the attractive
and well-spoken youngster thinks she still
has some growing to do. And height is the
thing she's really hoping for.
Despite being so young there is one wom
en's title that she has won for the past
three years. It's the American Tennis Asso
ciation championship. At Wilberforce, Ohio,
last August she defeated Tina Watanabe
6-1, 6-2 in the final.
"First of all it's a Negro association,"
Bonnie explained, "but nowadays it's in
tegrated. It's supposed to be the Negro
nationals though, so I had to play in the
tournament. But because of that I missed
the National Girls' 18 championships which
were held in Philadelphia at the same time
unfortunately."
Natural asset
The omission may have cost Miss Logan
a national ranking for 1966. But her talents

Return From Britain
LONDON An A6heviUe,
N.C., man who is fighting
return to a North Carolina
prison says he fled in 1961 ta
fear of his life.
Roy Leon Ingle, 30, told Bow
Street Court that he was a
messenger in state prison at
Raleigh when he escaped.
He said the duty was dan
gerous and three messengers
were stabbed.
Another messenger was
burned to death with cigarette
lighter fluid and I feared the
same thing." Ingle told Chief
Magiitrate Sir Robert Blundell.

Tuero, and was first in the Girls' 16 Singles
division. She was also ranked 10th na
tionally in the. latter age-group.
According to John Foley, the host pro
for this year's Girls' Indoor Championships,
tennis is nine-tenths footwork. And he rates
that as one of Bonnie's greatest natural
assets at the moment.
"She glides across the court and all her
moves are very, very smooth," Foley said.
"All her footwork is very good, and 1 so is
her altitude and approach toward tennis.
"Tournament experience is all she needs.
I'd say that with that she could soon be in
real contention with anyone outside of the
top few women players."
Like Miss Gibson and Arthur Ashe, Bon
nie is a protege of Dr. Walter Johnson. He
has provided and sponsored most of her
tennis-playing opportunities since she was
12. But even so, compared with girls from
other sections of the United States, her top
class competitive experience has been very
limited. • r
Progress ahead
Her major ventures into the kind of com
petition she needs were confined last year
to the United States Girls' Team Champion
ships at Philadelphia and to Forest Hills.
In the former she represented the Southern
Section and won her singles and doubles
matches against Texas. In the Nationals she
had the misfortune to meet sixth-seeded
Norma Baylon of Ai gintina in the first
round and lost 7-5, 6-1.
This year Miss Logan is planning on skip
ping most of the junior events upon which
she has previously concentrated. She hopes
to play the grass-court tournaments of the
Eastern circuit in the summer. And the ex
perience she gains there should certainly
spell progress.
Despite her intense desire to succeed at
her chosen sport, however, Bonnie has her
feet planted sensibly outside the tennis
court as well. Education is very important
to her and now she has har ; eye on the
