Bob “Skinny” McPherson has
been selected as this week’s
Athlete of the Week. Bob is the
first tennis player to receive the
award this spring.
Coming from Churchill High
School in Pittsburgh, the fresh
man took over as the first man on
the Behrend’s tennis team. In the
first eight matches this year, he
has beaten every man he has
faced and is the only person on
the team to be undefeated in
singles. In fact he may be one of
Behrend’s hopefuls in the
rapidly approaching Region 19
Tournament coming up on May
18, 19, and 20. His record will be
the strong factor that will

Coach Lauffer made several
comments in regard to
McPherson. The coach stressed
how important it was to win the
point at the first position in a dual
match and he feels Bob is doing
an outstanding job for a fresh
man. Another point is that he is
always willing to learn how to
play better and he always has a
good attitude, which is im
portant. But perhaps the most
impressive thing about
McPherson is his ability to win in
pressure situations. So far this
year every opponent has given
him good competition or has
almost beaten him.
Bob also made a few comments
in reference to this honor. He
feels the team has given him the
support he needs to do the job at
the first position. He also
elaborated on the fact that the
main reason he has been as
successful as he had is because of
the ability of Coach Lauffer. Bob
feels Mr. Lauffer has been the
best coach in his career and has
given him many pointers about
the game. The Regional tour
nament will be a real test to
McPherson’s ability and he is
hoping to represent Behrend as a
successful participant.

Maryland has already had their
own tennis tournament this year.
The tournament known as the
JUCO was won by Tennery over
Sigelman by default. Perhaps as
a result of that, Tennery may
receive the number one seed, but
earlier this year Sigelman had
beaten Tennery 6-1, 6-2. Sigelman

has also beaten Workman 6-2,6-3,
in an earlier match. Workman
however will be the defending
champion of the tourney and
would like to go home as a two
time winner of the District
match. Also the runner-up from
last year will be returning. He is
Mike Hahn from Montgomery
and also has a good chance to
take it all. However, Hahn is
playing number two man on his
team behind Brian Tennery. Of
course Bob McPherson Jay
Baker, Joe Sherchik and Jim
Lyons will be doing their best for
Behrend. This tournament should
prove to be interesting and
educational for everybody who
enjoys the game.
