TENNIS OUTLOOK 1965
With six veterans returning from last year's
inexperienced squad, Coach Norton hopes to
better ]ast year's dismal record of no victories
agajnst 8 losses.
Returning are Frank Rishel, Bill Gering,
Chuck Wi]son, Tom Evans, Milton Van Winkle,
and Mike Me1linger. Lost through graduation
were Bill Henrie and Charles Klohe, both of
whom had competitive tennis experience and
were steady players.
Frank Rishel improved a great deal during
last season and early indications point to his
being one of the top Husky performers. Another player, southpaw Bill Gering, worked extrem 2ly hard in his game last summer and fall.
Hjs last year's competitive performance showed
evidence of additional strategy needed in his
over-all play. Chuck \Vilson, a game competitor,
has been working on his service which could
improve his game 50%. Evans, Van Winkle, and
Mellinger also have put many hours work on
develop~ng more consistency in their offense.
Many of these boys started the season early,
working out in the gym until they could get outof-doors. Coach Norton stated that there seemed to be a new air of confidence and eagerness
among the team, a spirit that was missing last
year. As in other sports at BSC this year, freshmen are not eligible for varsity competition.
There are several other promising underclass
candidates for tennis along with some freshmen,
all of which points to "better things to come" on
the BSC courts.
