New Tennis Coach Has Had Illustrious Athletic Career
James E. Seaver, coach of the tennis team, has had a spectacular career which most people only dream of having. He has played in tournaments with nearly all of the top ranking professional netmen, particularly Bobby Riggs, who will play in a challenge match with Jack Kramer at Kansas City April 10.
He first played Bobby Riggs as a sophomore in high school when the two met in the California interscholastic tournament in 1934. Riggs and Seaver are the same age and have played in at least ten tournaments as opponents. Seaver said that he had never beaten Riggs although he had won many individual sets from him. The two have become very close friends through their competition on the courts.
"I started my tennis playing at the age of seven and played in my first tournament when I was 11 years old," Seaver recalls. He has been playing in tournaments constantly since then.
Once Teamed With Van Horn
In 1935 Coach Seaver played the late Joe Hunt in the California interscholastic. While playing doubles with Welby Van Horn, who is now a pro, the pair won the 1936 California interscholastic and then went on to win the doubles title in the southern California interscholastic tournament.
Coach Seaver played third man on the Stanford varsity in 1937, and he also made the first doubles as a sophomore. During the summer he toured the East where he won the Eastern intercollegiate doubles title with Bob Underwood.
The same year he again played Riggs in the Southern Cal juniors with Riggs winning 6-2, 6-4 to take the championship. This was their last year in the juniors.
Was Captain At Stanford
Seaver was captain of the Stanford team in 1938 and again toured the East. His tour was cut short when he became ill with pneumonia on the morning that he was to meet Hal Surface in the quarter-finals of the Middle Atlantic States tournament at Baltimore.
In 1942 he was defeated in the quarterfinals of the Tri-State championship at Cincinnati by Allejo Russell. In doubles competition while teamed with John Curtiss the two went to a 5-0, 8-6 decision against Pancho Segura and Billy Talbert.
Last year Seaver lost, in the sem-
mals of both the singles and doubles
of the season.
Coach Seaver is a member of the Los Angeles Tennis club, where he has met many of his famed opponents. While playing for this club, he was defeated in 1938 by Wayne Sabatino. 3-6, 6-4. From A Golfing Family.
The Seaver athletic fame is not restricted to Jim, but is also shared by his father, Everett, and brother, Charlie, both outstanding golfers. For a number of years the elder Seaver was the western representative of the United States Golf association.
From A Golfing Family
Charlie reached his golfing prime in 1930 when he was defeated in the semi-finals of the National Amateur by Eugene Homans, who later beat Bobby Jones for the championship. Charlie was also a member of the Walker Cup team that year.

Pianist Artur Rubinstein On Granada Screen
Artur Rubinstein, celebrated concert pianist and one of the great names in international music circles, performs in RKO Radio's "Night Song," portraying himself as a member of the cast headed by Dana Andrews, Merle Oberon, Ethel Barrymore and Hoagy Carmichael. In the picture he plays Cincerto in C Minor, a modern composition by Leith Stevens, who wrote the score of "Night Song."
Constantin Bakalenkoff, RKO's musical director, persuaded Rubenstein to appear in the film and made arrangements to record his music at Carnegie Hall against the background of the New York Philharmonie-Symphony Orchestra.
The motion picture is a modern love story by Dick Frying Hyland and Frank Fenton which has San Francisco and New York for its background. It reunites the producer-director combination responsible for RKO's highly successful screen version of "The Enchanted Cottage." Opening Thursday for three days only.
