After having completed a very successful season under the able direction of the newly appointed coach, Captain Charles Lake, the USF tennis team is setting its sights high for the 1963 season. Last year the team was able to complete an undefeated season in league play, while losing only four matches in exhibition play.
The number one position is held by the flashy Tony Sison Jr., winner of the Philippine National Junior Championship, the United States National Public Parks Championship in doubles, and the Pacific Coast Junior Singles Championship. In the second position is Bill Eavis, former high-ranking player in the Northern California Juniors and winner of the 1962 WCAC Singles Championship. The third slot is held by team captain Jim Garcia, winner of the San Francisco City Mixed Doubles Championship, who is completing his last year on the Don team, The fourth, fifth, and sixth positions are held by Don Coughlan, Norm Sauer, and Dean Volheim.
In early appearances this year, the team has shown that it will be even stronger than last year's squad. The difference between winning or losing a close match was very much due to Captain Lakes' insistence on strict training regulations and rigorous practices. With the exception of team captain Jim Garcia, the entire squad will be back again in 1964. The future of tennis on the Hilltop is indeed bright (TheDon).
