We'll not mention his name
because he already has suf:
fered enough. But—
® oo eo
A young man who married
a Mount Joy girl recently
showed up here and after
beginning to get acquainted
made the mistake of challeng-
ing one of our local young
businessmen to a game of ten-
nis.
® oe eo
Now, what this newcomer
didn’t know is that Mount
Joy has a mighty fine reputa-
tion for tennis playing and
as a relative stranger you can
not tell who just might be
pretty good.
® * oo»
At any rate, following the
challenge, made back early in
the year, the newcomer niav-
ed hand ball, got himself in
condition for the match and
had a wonderful time enjoy-
ing “how he was going to
win.” What he didn’t know,
toa, is that his opponent was
a pretty good man on Done-
gal high’s team not too many
years ago.

So, a few days ago on the
appointed day, challenger,
bushy tailed and ready, ap-
peared on the borough courts.

The businessman, in new
sneakers, carrying an old
racket which had a broken
string and groaning with six
years of inactivity, appeared.

This may not be the actual-
score but it’s near enough.
Businessman the winner, 6-0
and 6-3.
Don’t sell Mount Joy tennis
players short.

DHS Looms Big
In District Meet
When Donegal’s trackless
trackmen step out Saturday
at McCaskey high school field
in the 1972 District champion-
ships, they will be going for
something new.
Of the five Indian school-
boy athletes who will parti-
cipate, four will team togeth-
er to make a fry for the mile
relay crown.
Ccach Charles Portser said
this week that present plans
are to put CIiff Betty, John
Helmstaedter, Pat Henry and
Larry Priester into Donegal’s
fastest combination and shoot
for as near a 3:30. race as
possible.
It might not be quite that
good but a 3:33 would be
mighty satisfactory and might
just surprise someone.
In what order he would
run the four men Portser
was not certain early this
week but it would be a good
bet that his ace sprinter
Cliff Betty—will run anchor.
The fifth man to take part
in the District will be Martin
Heisey, who will try in all
three jump events — a tough
assignment for anyone, con-
sidering that he must be
jumping continually in the
high jump.
And, when a boy who
stands about 5-11 or 6 ft. tall
is going three inches and
more over his own head there
is a tremendous effort in-
volved.
The Donegal lineup will be
220-yard dash, Betty; 440-yd.
dash, Betty; mile relay; high
hurdles, Priester, low hurdles,
Priester, and the high, long,
and triple jumps, Heisey.
