Tennis Team Winds Up
Best Season Since War
• By Martin Meadows
The University of Oregon’s var
sity and frosh racquetmen have
put away their equipment for the
school year and the campaign just
finished, but not before they con
tributed to a definite upswing in
Duck net fortunes.
THE FAST season saw the var
sity ne'tmen come through with one
0( their best records in several
years, while the frosh squad was
formed for the first time since pre
war days.
Saal I.esser became the first
pHayer-eoaeh in Oregon history
when he took over early this term,
and, despite the outcome of the
Northern Division tournament, he
guided the team to a successful
year from the won-and-lost view
point.
The VVebfoots wound up with an
overall season's record of eight
victories against four defeats.
They completed the Northern Di
vision dual meet schedule tied with
Washington State for third spot.
The University of Washington, pe
rennial champions, won the title,
with Oregon State a close second.
Bob Carey, Dave Van Zandt, Bud
Carpenter, Bob Mensor, and Bill
Williams, as well as Lesser, were
the mainstays for the Ducks as
they compiled triumphs over such
colleges as Lewis and Clark, Wil
lamettee, Idaho, Montana, and
Whitman.
Losses during their tough slate
came at the hands of Washington,
CSC, and WSO.
Oregon’s poor showing in the
league tournament, held at Cor
vallis, was due to the draw. The
pairings, unfortunate from the
Webfoot point of view, matched all
the Ducks against either Washing
ton or OSC men in first round ac
tion, with the result that Oregon
failed to score a single point.
ALTHOUGH four members of
the present group will graduate
this month, Lesser stated that next
year’s aggregation should be quite
strong, with the addition of play
ers who were unable to compete
this season. Those graduating are
Carey, Van Zandt, Lesser, and Car
penter.
The frosh ended their campaign
with an unimpressive record of one
win, three losses, and orje tie. How
ever, all of the Ducklings, with the
exception of Tom MacDonald, were
untested in match play.
LESSER’S MAIN object in re
organizing the frosh team was to
give its members experience and
at the same time build possible fu
ture varsity netmen.
The Duckling numeral winners
were MacDonald, John Kerns, Joe
Vielbig, Gerald Berreman, and
Martin Meadows.

Divoteers Have
Indifferent Year
In a rundown of the recently con
cluded golf season, the Oregon Web
foots, under the expert tutelege of
Coach Sid Milligan, rose like the
crest of an ocean wave—only to be
dashed ruthlessly aside in Northern
Division competition.
Boasting a superior depth of
strength, the Webfoots waded
through Victoria College in a pre
season warm-up at the Canadian
links. With team captain Dom Pro
vost, John Eckstrom, Red Omlid
and Fred Zolezzi displaying early
season form, and later John Prince,
Jim Donahue, and veteran Bob
Sederstrom, the Ducks started
knocking off ND opponents.
Idaho was first to visit the Eu
gene Country Club—and Milligan’s
“diggers” trounced them. A few
days later, Oregon slipped by the
Beavers at Corvallis, then return
ed to Eugene to blast the same
