FORT LAUDERDALE WINS TENNIS Conch Boys Lose Close Matches On Enemy Courts; Play Hampered By High Winds; Dopp, Knight Win A greatly improved high school tennis squad, play- \ng with the wind and the rain in its hair, lost to Fort Lauderadle, 6-1 Saturday.

Some indieation of this improve: ment can be seen in the stores which were uniform- ly closer than last time. Considering the fact that this improvement came without the- benefit of enough good courts to play on, and without the advan- tage of regular interscho: lastie matches, it seenis all the moré remarkable. « Now that the city is get titig better court facilities, more rapid improvement in the city’s juriior tennis may be expected. To this may be added the happy fact that Ralph Hartenstine was re- cently chosén a member of the governing board of Florida Terints and will doubtedly have some influ- ence in getting Key West a place in the Southern Florida high schoo} league: All of which; naturally, will mean more matches. Key West's sole victory was af upset in the sécond doubles, where Tony Dopp and Peter Knight de- feated Doug MacGregor and Bili Rogers of Fort Lauderdale, 6-1, 5-7, 6-4. ‘ thd two Key West boys had a efinite. in the fi set but seemed te Hy apart ae ‘séc- ond. It looked like another win for Fort Laudérdale as MacGre- gor and Rogers took a 3-0 lead in the final set. But the Conch’s ral- lied, made up that deficit, and went on to win the set, 6-4 The Fort Lauderdale lineup had ufndegone profound changes sincé last the schools playéd. Bil¥ Peck, former numbér ofie on the squad, was having: stholastic difficulties and so did not compete. In his stead was playing: Bill Huegele: This all around athlete, a star in basketbail, baseball, and tennis, downed John Cruz, 6-3, 8-6. In better weather, the match would have been beautiful specta- tor tennis. It was for closer than the score might indicate. In the second set, John had two point- sets but finally went down before his opponents superior power and experience. Huegele has one of the best strokes of any player in the state. He is extremely graceful on the court and gives plenty of evidence that he will dévelop into a top flight player. John. did very well to hold him to so close a match as he did Saturday. In the number two spot, Don Cruz lost td Gordon McCully, 6-3, 6-2. Don played very well when he was hitting a flat drive. But whenever he used a slice stroke, he seldom won a point. It was much, too windy for him to use a slice with effectiveness. He should know what to do in the next windy match he plays. The last time Key West and Fort Lauderdale met, Don’s was the only Conch victory. In that match, he defeated Ned Berry, who had dropped to the number three spot on the team last Satur- day. Berry took the measure of ever- improving Peter Knight, the Key West number three man, 6-4, 6-4 Pete drove well from both the forehand and backhand but did not have quite the exeprience to defeat his veteran rival. Tony Dopp, the Key _ West number four, iost to Jim Stobal, 6-3, 6-2. He looked very good in spots, but he still must learn to put his weight into the ball when he hits his forehand. The top-spin drive he has been using so much should only be used occasionally. Graham Sullivan, Fort Lauder- dale’s number five, had to push himself hard fo take his match with Frank Hernandez. The score was 6-4, 7-5. Frank, although he does not have a_ stroke that equals those of most of the other players; has @ fine compétitive temperament which enables him to put up a good battle. Only when he is completely oatelassett does this advantage desert him. i the high school teams played a brand of tennis which was better, on the whole, than it had been when thet earlier this year ye Snyder three, and Greenwood three.

City Manager Dave King on February 27 assured the Tennis Court Com- mittee of Chairman Joe Pinder,| Earl Yates, and Ygnacio Car- bonell that. he will seek funds from the City Commission to finish the courts with concrete in late April or early May. This assurance followed ten days of testifying by the com- mittee at the request of Mr. King to determine what top should be applied. Concrete was found to be the only acceptable surface. The City’s new concrete court, ad- joining the two that are -hors d'combat, is ready for play ex- cept for backstop, netposts, and lines. Play Matches Singly The plan this year is to have only one match at a time on the courts from the quarterfinals on, to allow the new multitude of Key West tennis fans the fullest opportunity to enjoy the play. Loudspeakers, umpire, linesmen, ball boys, and all the rest of the accounterments that go to make a championship tennis match a thing of major excitement, will be utilized to the hilt in both the semi-finals and the fimals. In last year’s tourney the semi- finalists were Roberts Smith, Ralph Hartenstine, Phil Freeman, and Lt. E. A. Hamblen. Harten- stine defeated Smith 6-2, 8-6 and Hamblen eliminated Freeman 6-1, 7-5. Hartenstine then won the championship by turning back Hamblen 6-1, 6-3. Jack Sellers and Hartenstine won the doubles title in a 7-5, 6-4 victory over Lt.

He was given a slight edge over Lopez in pre-tourney pre- dictions, but as it turned out, he had to call forth every ounce of golfing savy to take the match. Archer's medal score was 82; Lopez shot an 83. That indicates just about how much advantage Archer had. Down to the last strok- es, the outcome was uncer- tain.
