Pill I Lynch, outstanding netter so far tills season, unleashes a backhand. Pill I played in 1958 and returned to Portland State tennis this year. To date, Pill I has victories over Harley Hunt at Linfield, Jim Barickman at Lewis and Clark, and against Phil Northcote of Oregon. Jesse Gilmore is having a difficult time finding a replacement for last year's number one man, John Marshall. So far the defending champions in the OCC have dropped two matches, Linfield and Oregon, willie defeating Lewis and Clark. au tstanding this far for the netters have been Phil Lynch, at present undefeated, Bob Stolte, and Jerry Richmond, OCC doubles champion. Matt Gefre, two year letterman, is beginning to find himself after a slow start, and newcomer Chuck Rees and freslunan Bill Carhart have shown real promise. On the schedule for the rest of the sea­ son are such squads as Portland University, Oregon State, Willamette, and Central Washington. Seventeen matches are scheduled tills year. The OCC tournament will be held at Klamath Falls near the end of the season. The squad will have difficulty matching the 9 and 4 record of last year, but should have no difficulty in defending its conference championship. Matt Gefre, two year letterman, had to go three sets against Ken Ruff at Lewis and Clark before winning at the number two position. Matt has been a work horse for the Vikings the last couple of years. 223
