Lawrence Phillips of the Central High School tennis team shared in two Dis- trict net titles decided yesterday on the courts of the Chevy Chase Club. Opposed by Le Roy Thurtell, another Centralite, in the final of the junior singies, Phillips triumphed, 7—5, 4—§, . 6—4, and with Don Dudley defeated Thurtell and Erskine McGuire in_the junior doubles, 5. 7—5, 7—b5. Dudley and MoGuire also are Blue and White racketers. Phillips, who was runner-up last year in the boys' tourney, needed plenty of stamina to dispose of Thurtell in the singles engagement. The game score was 5 to 3 for Thurtell in the first set. when Phillips rallied to win four straight. He was nosed out in several games, and lost the second, but easily wore down Thur- tell in the third and fourth sets. The doubles battle was a gruelling affair all the way. Phillips' victory in the singles gives him the right to compete in the national championships at Boston this summer. Rain prevented the completion of the singles and doubles in the boys' tourna- ment, Edward Uhler and Gwynn King are to meet in the singles match at 3 o'clock this afternoon, while Uhler and Lewis will oppose Callan and Hicks for e doubles title. lh\'«.'llhlm T.
