The cry "Anyone for tennis?" was greeted with a resounding answer from six returning lettermen, who in early season formed one of the top collegiate tennis teams in the Bay Area. Last year USF netters ranked behind California and Stanford, and this time out hoped to gain the top position.

Seth Petersen, Jim Demas, Julius Debro, Jerry Conlan and Ken Raab were the returnees, while Stan Smith, star of two years ago, came back after a serious back injury to bolster the starting quintet. Petersen is number one in the singles and, teaming with Jim Demas, is also defender of the doubles crown.

Home and home games had been scheduled with Stanford, California, San Jose State, Modesto Junior College, and one game against San Francisco State. Traditional competition with College of the Pacific did not materialize when the Tigers failed to form a tennis aggregation on the intercollegtate level (Ignatian).
