Summer Session Tennis
Tourney at Half-Way |
Mack Sees Interest

At Height

The first round of the Summer
Session Tennis tourney was com-
pleted last week. Competition has
been fast and a great deal of interest
is being shown. The outcome of the
tournament is still in doubt. All of

 

the favorites came through as ex~-|

pected.

Browning, who played several

matches for the K.U. varsity tennis
squad during the regular season had
little trouble in disposing of R. L.
White 6-1, 6-1.

A. D. Oetting eked out a three
set victory over James Clark in what
was probably the most interestin;
match of the week. Oetting took the
first set 6-4, but Clark came back to
win the second 6-3. Oetting took the
final set 6-1. }

L. Maser defeated C. Packard .
an interesting match. Both me
played good tennis. Maser is one of
the favorites.

Ernie Klann, diminutive Kansasj|
track star, took C. Spong’s measure |
6-1, 6-2 in a rather erratic battle. |

Klann furnished amusement for the
‘gallery’ with his usual clowning.

Weston Wells won from C. Olander |

by default.

J. Sterrett won his match from i.

C. Read in rather easy fashion. Ster-
rett had a little trouble in settling

down during the first set, but he]

finally got going and steam rolled to
victory.

R. L. Dennen defeated C. Lannin- |

gin an uninteresting affair.
R. A. Burton advanced to the
quarter finals by virtue of a bye.

Browning entered the semi-finals |

by defeating Oetting. Quarter final
matches yet to be played are: Maser
vs. Klann, Wells vs. Sterrett and
Dennen vs. Burton.

competition becomes tougher. Favorites have progressed as predicted and

the matches which are on tap promise to be well worth any tired student's,

trip down to the Stadium courts.

 

Brownning, the top seeded man,©
earned his right to the semi-finals
last week when he disposed of Oet-
ting easily. He is picked by those
“in the know” to cop the title without
too much trouble.

Maser, another one of the favorite
won the thankless task of trying to
stop Brownning the hard way. He
had to defeat Ernie Klann, Kansas
track star. Klann, though he knows
next to nothing about the finer points
of the game, furnished plenty of op-
position with his gameness and un-
willingness to admit defeat.

Wells had a comparatively easy
time with Sterrett when he steam
rolled into the semi-finals. Wells
took the first set 6-2 and then
smashed his way through the second
6-0. Wells is considered to be the
man that Brownning will have to beat
in the finals.

Burton had trouble with eines,
but finally emerged victor 6-4, 6-1.
The first set was hotly contested with
almost every game going to deuce.

Semi-final matches will be between
Brdéwnning and Maser and Wells and
Burton. Unless the dope is upset,
Browning should win the first
match and Wells should take the
other. However Maser and Burton
are not players to be toyed with. |
Both are steady players with lots of
spark when the pressure is on.
