It is the clinic plan, In medicine, the clinic means mass examinations, diagnosis and treatment of maladies. As applied to tennis, it means mass instruction and the ironing out of playing faults befoere they become ingrained. | | | i 1 Developed by the president of a| small South Carolina college, the tennis clinic is now four years old and is beginning to spread to far| sections of the U. S. The idea received its first big boost when the U. 8. Lawn Tennis Association sanctioned it and des- ignated the original clinic at Pres- byterian College, Clinton, 8. C., as a model. Dr. William P. Jacobs, president of the college and devel- oper of the plan, was made chair- man of a clinic committee of the national association. Things began to happen. How It Works Tennis clinics have been held in several districts. One regional or- ganization, the Southern Lawn Ten- nis Assoclation, electing Dr. Jacobs as its president, made advancement of the clinic program its main ob- Jjective for next year. Association officials said they hoped to arrange for clinics in each | of the nine states of their territory and to see that at least 1,000 boys and girls get off to a “right start” in tennis each year. Here is the way the clinic oper- ates: A school, college or some other institution arranges for a staff of expert tennis instructors and in- vites youngsters from a given area to be its guests for a period of in- struction, usually three or four days. In addition to instruction, the young | players hold tournaments or elim-| inations, play informally and watch | as many exhibition games by crack | players as the host institution can DAILY ALASKA EMIPRE, FRIDAY, JULY 7, 1939 JESS ONLY I GITS USED T' YER PAW'S NEW applicants had to be turned down. Most Things Free | Everything was free except meals for which the guests paid $1 a day.| Other expenses may be borne by | the college or host organization, patrons of the game or by a ten- nis association or club. William C. Lufler, coach who| works with Dr. Jacobs at Presby- terian college, sees in the plan ex- ceptional benefits - for boys and girls in small towns or communi- ties out of touch with the big cen- ters of sport. “Without instruction and point- ers on the game,” said Lufler, “these youngsters naturally would develop multitudinous faults that would seriously cripples the value and enjoyment of the game. With! a little help at the start, some, on| the other hand, may turn out to be tennis geniuses—players who will bring added glory to the game.” | satibars Ui | SECRETARY SWANSON OF NAVY DIES Announcemea Is Made by President Roosevelt with Statement (Continuea rrom DPage One) | spspc | accord on ideas which Swanson described as “an American empire of floating fortresses second to none.” One of his early pronounce- ments as Secretary of the Navy ({was in favor of building up the | American fleet to treaty limits, thus |'maintaining the 5-5-3 ratio as| among the United States, Great | Britain and Japan. | Goes to Geneva He took these ideas with him | when President Hoover sent him | to Geneva as one of the American | delegates to the general disarma- | ment conference of 1932-3.
