Perseverance Pays Off
For Nittany Netter Gray
By KEN DENLINGER
If tennis coach Sherm Fogg had to name the most im
proved player in the University during the past four years,
his choice would probably be the number two singles man
on his net squad, Whit Gray.
Four years ago Gray showed up- for 'freshman tennis
tryouts, but by his own admission, was not too impreisive.
"I was pretty bad," Gray said, "I only hit about three or
four balls dtiring the session." 1 -
As a consequence, Fogg turned three notches to the number two
