Herbin won he senior men's title at the expensfc of Allen Smith of Durham. Herbin won the championship in two sets. 7-5, 6 4 Herbin and Chambers were declared winners in the men's doubles competition as the result of a flip of the coin. A heavy downpour just prior to the beginning of the last match of the tournament made the courts at Forest Hills un- able for play and W. L. Cooke, tournament director, fipped a coin to determine the winner since no possible date for play- off between Chambers, Smith and Charity and Sterling Clarke could be arranged.

Durham was proud to have some of the top young tennis players in the nation here this week for the Southeastern Ten- n;s Tournament sponsored by the American Tennis Associa- tion. Among these net hopefuls were several local representa tives who possess plenty of tal- ent. John Lucas, Mike Ruffin, Peter Ruffin and Benjamin Page not to mention Bonnie Logan were Durham entries entered in the tournament. Duke's Jack Marin has decid ed to give professional basket- ball try with the Baltimore Bullets instead of going to med- ical school. Steve Vancendak, teammate of Marin this past season, has definitely decided to forego professional basket- ball and enter law school in September. Marin and Hudson are members the U. S. foreign tour team. Also participating in the three day postponed tourney were three members of Dr. Walter Johnson's tennis pro- gram. These included Tina Wa- tanabe of Los Angeles, Cal., Christine Wallace of Detroit, Mich, and Tam O'Shaughnessy of Fullerton, Cal. Another local draft choice, Ted Manning Is expected to at- tend camp with the Detroit Pistons. Manning, who holds the career scoring record at N. Carolina College, was the sev enth round choice of the Pis tons. With the experience these youngsters are getting playing in these topflight tournaments this summer, they are certainly going to be heard from in the near future. Ruffin and Lucas along with J. D. Lewis were also members of Dr. Johnson's tour this summer. Willie (Pete) Hayes of Dor- ham and Elbert Thorpe of Rox boro shot identical scores in the qualifying rounds of the Herald- Sun Golf Tournament being held on the Duke Golf Course this week. Hayes shot a pair of 79s for a total score of 158 and competition in the first flight Thrope collected a set of 82s for a total score of 184 and match play in the third flight. The team of Watanabe, Wal- lace, O'Shaughnessy and Lucas will play in the Baltimore Open this week before depart- ing for Louisville for the Louis- ville Grass Tournament which opens July 12. Logan is also expected to make these two tournaments. Ruffin will rejoin the group after the Louisville trip to prepare for the Chat- tanooga tournament. This busy program will go on for most of the summer. These players in Dr. Johnson's tour will not only play in some of the best tournaments but will also get some keen practice sessions with Dr. Johnson, the man who gave Arthur Ashe his start. Bonnie is not a member of the team this summer but she is entering some of the best tournaments open. The promise these young net- ters showed in the tournament here last week certainly makes the people in attendance think of the future. Watanabe and O'Shaughnessy, both 14-years old and Lucas, a 12-year old hopeful, have bright futures ahead of them. With a little more practice and competition, these players are going to be ranked among the top netters in the United States. It is just a matter of experience which will come with time. SPORT SIDELINES Trio of Softball Games to be Played July 16 Plans for promoting three softball games which will be played at the Durham Athletic Park Saturday, July 16 were announced Monday night by Roosevelt Lipscomb, manager of Lipscomb Promotions.

If you haven't done much swimming, take it easy the first few times. Recognize your limitations. ? Don't swim when you're tired, overheated, or full from a recent meal. RESCUE TIPS ? Don't try to affect a swimming rescue unless you know how. It's preferable to throw a line or ring buoy to the swimmer in trouble if he's not too far from shore. If the victim is in deep water, you can wade to chest depth and offer a reaching assistant while bracing yourself by bending backward toward shore. Or better yet, shove a plank or lifesaving device to him until you can get help. If a rowboat or canoe is available, get along- side the victim so he can grasp the stem, or extend aji oar drawng him to the stern. Then row back to safety. Get Help Fast if you can't swim and you've done all you can to keep the victim afloat. An astonishing number of Americans now have backyard pools. Of the 472 pools drown- ings last year, the AMA points out, 246, occurred at private homes?and 155 of the victims were under five years of age. The three chief causes of such drownings were lack of quali- fied adult supervision; inade- quate pool protection, such as lack of fences; and the vic- tim's inability to swim or float.
