FRIDAY, APRIL 6, 45/ 8 Returning Lettermen Brighten Tennis Outlook If experience is the key to success, then tennis Coach Sherm Fogg may view the coming net campaign with rose colored glasses since lfe has eight seasoned performers re turning as this year's nucleus Of the eight returnees, DI last year's top-notch battalion, one won his varsity monogram in 1939, and the other two were used sparingly lest season. Gus Bigott, Penn State's claim to soccer fame, is the '39 netman who will be bidding for a starting berth. At present the old "pro" needs a great deal of practice be fore rounding into tip-top form. Gus has been busily propelling the ball for the Nittany "goodwill ambassadors" in Iran. Landon Back • The remaining veteran quintet, who were the main reasons for last year's 7.3-1 log, are Captain Owen "Sonny" Landon, Dick Wieland, Bill Aiken, Ed Davis, and Bill Wood. Four lettermen were lost via graduation, thus making a better than average collectiou of ma terial for Coach Fogg to mold a winning machine. Captain Landon, who over a 3- year era, has lost only twice in 23 matches, will attempt to con tinue' his remarkable record this year as the Lions' No. 1 man. Coach Fogg rates Landon as the most consistant winner he has coached in his 3 years here. Wieland No. 2 Number 2 man will be Dick Wieland. Bill Aik e n, ineligible last season, will see action in the No. 3 slot. The No. 4 man will be Ed Davis. Number 5 post will .probably be filled in by Bill Wood, leaving only the No. 6 position open. , Because of their- constant scourge of Penh State opposition last year, Captain Landon, and Wieland have been chosen to rep resent the Nittanies as the No. 1 doubles team. Down To Wire Of the remaining vets, Coach Fogg considers each capable of outdoing the other, and it appears as though there will be a fight right down to the wire for the two and three doubles combina tions. St an Meyers and Charley Shank complete the group of ex perienced netmen. S ever al sophomores have looked very promising to the net mentor. B 1.11 Forrey, Bill Ray, Pete Farrell, State College's 6-7 skyscraper, and diminutive Lion basketteer George Lynch are ex pected to give the vets a run for heir money.
