YOUNG TENNIS STARSON WAY UP
all-arcund skill of Lou Hudson,
a graduate of Dudley High
School and the University ofMinnesota.Durham was proud to have
some of the top young tennisplayers in the nation here thisweek for the Southeastern Ten-n;s Tournament sponsored by
the American Tennis Associa-tion. Among these net hopefulswere several local representatives who possess plenty of tal-ent. John Lucas, Mike Ruffin,Peter Ruffin and BenjaminPage not to mention BonnieLogan were Durham entriesentered in the tournament.
Duke's Jack Marin has decid
ed to give professional basket-ball try with the BaltimoreBullets instead of going to med-ical school. Steve Vancendak,
teammate of Marin this pastseason, has definitely decided
to forego professional basket-ball and enter law school inSeptember. Marin and Hudsonare members the U. S. foreigntour team.
Also participating in thethree 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 DetroitPistons. Manning, who holdsthe career scoring record at N.
Carolina College, was the sev
enth round choice of the Pistons.
With the experience theseyoungsters are getting playing
in these topflight tournamentsthis summer, they are certainlygoing to be heard from in thenear future. Ruffin and Lucasalong with J. D. Lewis were
also members of Dr. Johnson'stour this summer.
Willie (Pete) Hayes of Dor-ham and Elbert Thorpe of Roxboro shot identical scores in thequalifying 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 andcompetition in the first flight
Thrope collected a set of 82sfor a total score of 184 andmatch play in the third flight.
The team of Watanabe, Wal-lace, O'Shaughnessy and Lucaswill play in the BaltimoreOpen this week before depart-ing for Louisville for the Louis-ville Grass Tournament whichopens July 12. Logan is alsoexpected to make these two
tournaments. Ruffin will rejoin
the group after the Louisvilletrip to prepare for the Chat-tanooga tournament.
This busy program will go onfor most of the summer. Theseplayers in Dr. Johnson's tourwill not only play in some ofthe best tournaments but willalso get some keen practice
sessions with Dr. Johnson, theman who gave Arthur Ashe hisstart. Bonnie is not a memberof the team this summer butshe is entering some of thebest tournaments open.
The promise these young net-ters showed in the tournamenthere last week certainly makesthe people in attendance thinkof the future. Watanabe andO'Shaughnessy, both 14-years
old and Lucas, a 12-year oldhopeful, have bright futuresahead of them. With a littlemore practice and competition,these players are going to beranked among the top nettersin the United States. It is justa matter of experience whichwill come with time.SPORT SIDELINES

Safety Measures for Swimmers, Pool OwnersBy LOUISE CHASE
Women's Medical News ServicejjNEW YORK?To make the
summer in the surf safe andpleasurable ?and to avert or
reduce the 101 l of last sum-
mer's 6,000 drownings the,American Red Cross (ARC) and Ithe American Medical Associa jlion (AMA) recommend the fol- |
logins water safety rules:
; ? Learn to swim. The ability
to swim, the ARC points out,helps you to overcome the fearand panic that grips nonswim-mers in a water emergency. Ifyou can swim a little, learnto swim better. The Red Crossbooklet, "Teaching Johnny toSwim," is an easy-to-follow il-lustrated guide for parents
teaching very young ones to
swim. It is available from localRed Cross chapters ?as is freeswimming instruction.
? Never swim alone. A com-panion may save your life.
I e Swim in a safe place. The
I presence of a lifeguard usually
indicates an area is safe. 'Notrespassing' sfgns or signs
I warning of danger should betaken seriously.
? Never dive unless you
know the water is deep enough
and that there are no sub-merged objects such as rocks.
? Never depend on a tube orinflated toy to support you inwater where you cannot man-
age without them. They'vebeen known to spring leaks.

leaving swimmers helpless andin grave anger.
? If you haven't done muchswimming, take it easy thefirst few times. Recognize yourlimitations.
? Don't swim when you're
tired, overheated, or full froma recent meal.RESCUE TIPS
? Don't try to affect aswimming rescue unless youknow how. It's preferable tothrow a line or ring buoy tothe swimmer in trouble if he'snot too far from shore. If thevictim is in deep water, youcan wade to chest depth andoffer a reaching assistant whilebracing yourself by bending
backward toward shore. Orbetter yet, shove a plank or
lifesaving device to him untilyou can get help. If a rowboator canoe is available, get along-
side the victim so he can graspthe stem, or extend aji oardrawng him to the stern. Thenrow back to safety. Get HelpFast if you can't swim andyou've done all you can tokeep the victim afloat.
An astonishing number ofAmericans now have backyardpools. Of the 472 pools drown-ings last year, the AMA pointsout, 246, occurred at private
homes?and 155 of the victimswere under five years of age.The three chief causes of suchdrownings were lack of quali-fied adult supervision; inade-quate pool protection, such as
lack of fences; and the vic-tim's inability to swim orfloat.
