Sooner Netmen
To Begin Quest
For 12th Title
Oklahoma University will be
pointing for its twelfth Big Seven
conference championship in 18
years this season with an all vet
eran lineup.
Only dark spot on the Sooner
horizon is the possible loss of last
year's number one singles player
Stanley Draper. Draper suffered
serious injury in an auto accident
this winter. If he rounds into
form he will be a definite threat
for the Big Seven singles crown
in the meet at Lincoln late in
May.
In case Draper is unable to
compete. Jack Stuart, an import
from Oklahoma Baptist, will move
into his place. Stuart, sporting an
excellent serve, played high
school tennis in Oklahoma and
Tennessee, and will probably be
used on the number two doubles
combination.
Following Draper and Stuart
will be Charles Cunningham, a
205 pounder built like a football
guard, who played uncier me lor
mer Sooner ureat, Joe lien cnam
pion, in high school. Cunningham
will team with veteran Jack
Griggs in the number one doubles
outlit.
Other members of the squad in
elude Guv Ewton. who may play
doubles as well as singles, Abe
Rn a two-vear letterman nt uu
and Gerald Badgelt, a protege of
Chickasha's girl coach, Gerievievi
Carter.
Coach Walter Mead is at 28 the
youngest coach in the boone
i-tKiftir svstcm. Mead played ten
nis at Oklahoma and was one of
the greatest doubles prayers in
Sooner hi.'tory. In 1939 Mead
played on the doubles team wnrci
took first in the Big Six, and fol
lowed with championsmps 1
1940-41.
In the three years which Mead
has been at the helm of Oklahoma
netmen, be has taken inira, bct
nnii .',nd first in conference play
The best year came in 1947, when
the team won 15, lost I and tied
1 Last season the Sooners were
second with a U-4-z record.

conference tiffs, with the last two
to be played against the Okla
homa Sooners at Noiman, April

been able to hold only six prac
tice sessions outdoors.
The squad will leave Saturday
for Waco, Texas, where they play
their first of two games April 4.

erage in 1947 and hit .418 in the
first eight games last season.
