TENNIS Led by the able coaching of Raymond Wray and the steady play of Mike O'Dowd, ''Rockland County's Most Valuable Tennis Play," the Teepeetown tennis squad de– feated all fall P SA Lcompetition. This was the tenth time in the last eleven tries that Wraymen have been victorious. In only one season since 1946, last spring, when they ran second, did the racquetmen finish out of top honors. Coach Wray asserts that much of the success of his teams is due to the interest given by players in their daily practice, and to the strength of the doubles teams, which have lost very few matches through the years. As in recent seasons, Pearl River is again expected to be prominent in spring competition. However, Spring Valley, starting an almost entirely green team in the fall, showed good talent and gave most county squads hard struggles. Suffern also booms as a big obstacle in any club's spring championship hopes. Next fall, three strong varsity men will be lost to graduation, but Coach Wray expects the ranks to be filled by members of the J . V. squad. As indicated by wide– spread interest in the fall tournament, from which spring team members are chosen, there are potentially good J. V. and Varsity squads coming in the spring of 1952. Finl row• L.
