| THURSDAY— Peter ek JOE LOPEZ WILL ENTER FLORIDA STATE OPEN GOLF 7 TOURNI ne kok Hartenstine Gets His Berth In The Finals At Beach At 5:30 o’clock today on County Beach, Peter Var- ela — the man who came back — meets Commander Joe Watson in the second semi-final of the Men’s Tennis Championship. Yesterday defending champion Ralph Harten-! stine overwhelmed Com- mander T. W. Cordry 6-0, 6-1, to gain Sunday’s Fin- als. This Varela-Watson go has all the makings of the | kind of contest fans walk | miles to see. (Get there ear- | ly if you don’t want to stand | on your car top.) Both men are complete- ly experienced and com- pletely confident of victory. The coffee shop dopsters are at sea on the encounter. Wagers on both sides are running high, but are} springing mostly from the | heart rather than the head. The truth is, it’s a toss-up as far as comparative scores and observations of oppos- ing weapons go. The Commander has turned back James Weathers 6-0, 6-1, John Sellers 6-0, 6-1, Don Cruz 6-3, 6-3, and Kermit Roberts, 6-2 6-0. Former champion Varela has accounted for D. L. Brinkley 6-3. 6-0, Chester Knowle: 8-6. Roberts Smith 6-3, 5- and Com:nander J. A. McAllister 6-1, 6-2. Of the two, Varela has met |Sub Re on Four much tougher opposition en route to the semi-final berth. Chester Knowles is a player of proven a- | Sor bility, and Smith and McAllister | Carding are two of the foremost players | Eagles on the Island. Last year Smith gained the semi-finals himself and had. a 6-5 lead on Hartenstine before bowing. Watson's two major oppon- @nts — Junior ace Don Cruz and 18-year-old upsetter Ker- mit Roberts — are not nearly as established in Island tennis as Smith and McAllister. Peter | 1 defeated Cruz 6-3, 6-4 in late March at the Casa Marina when the youngster was playing two real matches a week and had just returned from wins in the South Florida High School Championships. Too, the slower . ‘ru surface at the Casa fa Don's style of not forc- ing off his ground strokes. It is definite that Varela has re- ceived more of the kind of real competition in his earlier rounds | that brings out one’s best game The Commander, however, plays effortlessly, using strokes of clas sic purity. His backhand is more fluent than Peter's, but his al hand, though formed as well Varela’s, does not contain as 1 of the old knockout me First services are about aia: al, with Watson having a slight edge in pace on the second ball. Both players have been volleying ably with Varela attacking the barrier more often. Navy observers sa} the Commander feels he can win, while Key Westers are well aware | that Peter is going all out after a | a ashir spot in Sunday's Finals The Cordry-Hartenstine sem) final yesterday is the story of what top-flight spin on serv can do to an able player who has not recently encountered it. The champion caromed his twists and slices, which bounce in opposite directions, off the goncrete with such continuous savagry tt Commander’s ground strokes the epitome of steadiness through- out the tournament — were un- hinged. Fans said that Ralph's de- livery was piledriving into the op- posing court with such force that the ball catapaulted out of the line of sight many times before the eye could flick to keep it in focus. Cordry had the strokes — except for a too soft second serve —— to make an issue of it, but the ] United spins served ds a paralyzing ag- ent. Down 0-5 in the second set, he set Hartenstine back on his heels by cracking his second serve | Const pass with full strength to seize his on- ly game.
