The subjects were given 1the Comrey Personality Scales to assess their personality traits. The responses o£ the individual coaches to a questionnaire were used to assess the behavioral character- ! istics of the players. Based on season end singles dual '· :match winning percentage, the players were ranked from highest to lowest. The eighteen players ranked ~n the upper third made up the successful group, while the eighteen players ranked in the lower third made up the viii , unsucc..t=:ssf.ul group. A one-way analysis of variance was us~~d ·to determine ~whethe:r the two groups differed significantly on a person- :ality trait or a behavioral characteristic. A :mul t·iple- discriminant analysis was employed to determine whether the. j groups could be differentiated when the en·tire personality ' trait profile was used simultaneously. Whether comparing the two groups on a single person- ality trait, behavioral characteristic, or utilizing the entire profile, the variance within the two groups was grea·ter than the differences in the central tendencies between them. It was concluded that any difference be- t·\'leen the successful group and the unsuccessful group was not a £unction o£ either specific personality traits or selected behavioral characteristics. ix CHAPTER I Tennis is loaded with guys who can hit hard ru"'ld even keep it in the court, but .few of them ever win because they don't know how to think or how to control their nerves. Bill Tilden INTRODUCTION After existing for decades in an aura of diletantism, !tennis was suddenly bxought to the atte~tion o£ the public. This was due primarily to the advent of Open Tennis which !in 1968 dramatically changed the nature as well as the ·:focus of the game. Overnight, tennis became a commercial success. Tournaments increased in number. The modern professional tour developed. Tennis players competed !throughout the world for prize money instead of just tro- phies~ Interest in the game as a result soared to new !heights. This was reflected in the growth of tournament iattendance. Newspaper, magazine, and television coverage o:f tennis expanded to meet the demands of the public. The widespread following was further demonstrated in the num- i ber of active participants in the game. With over thirteen 1 million devotees, tennis became the fastest growing par- ticipant sport in the United States (53). It was easy to understand why there were more good players, at all levels o:f the game, than ever before. A majority of the men holding national rankings ha·ve played intercollegiate tennis. In view of the popularity of the game, competition .for a position on an intercol- legiate tennis team has become intense. Extensive prepar- ation became necessary for anyone who desired to reach this level and be a success. Intercollegiate coaches and players came to realize that variables, other than the physiological and the morphological, affect an in- dividual's competitive tennis performance. For this rea- son, tennis programs became concerned with developing physical ability as well as the psychological charac·ter- istics which would enhance a player's performance. Unfortunately the information concerning the psycho- . logical parameters o£ male intercollegiate tennis players i were extremely limited. Studies in which the personality characteristics of various intercollegiate athletic groups were compared furnished nearly all the data on these ath- letes (48, 61, 64, 68). Ostrow (72) did the only study ' dealing exclusively with intercollegiate tennis players.

So doing, it quickly became apparent that this material related to players who were champions or .near-champions. Extrapolating from these sources, one could only have made an educated guess concerning the per.- sonality traits and the behavioral characteristics of successful and unsuccessful intercollegiate tennis players. It was the purpose of this study to present a profile of the personality traits and the behavioral characteris- tics which might differentiate between successful and un- successful intercollegiate tennis players. The Problem Statement of the Problem The problem under investigation in this study was to :analyze the relationship among specific personality traits, ·selected behavioral characteristics, and the competitive •dual match performance of intercollegiate tennis players. 4 1. There will be significant differences among specific personality traits between successful and un- :successful intercollegiate tennis players. 1.1 Successful int~:~rcollegiate tennis players will :be signi:ficantl'v more orderly (0) than unsuccessf·uJ. players. 1.2 Successful intercollegiate tennis players will be significantly more rebe,llious (C) than unsuccessful ,players. 1.3 Successful intercollegiate tennis players will be significantly more egocentric(P) than unsuccessful _players. 1.4 Successful intercollegiate tennis players will ;be significantly more extroverted(E) than unsuccessful players. 1 • .5 Successful intercollegiate tennis players will significantly more emotionally sta.ble(S) than unsuc- cessful players. 1.6 There will be no significant difference on the I ~personality trait of activity(A) between successful and i \unsuccessful intercollegiate tennis players. 1.7 There will be no significant di.-f£erence on the ·personality trait o£ trust(T) between successful and un­ l.~'Uccessful intercollegiate .. tennis players. r-·-~ -~·-··"----~- --- '"·--<··~- -·~·-·"---~--~------- ·--~--------.,--~---- ----------~ --~~~·------~·-·----w- .. ~----~---·- -· ·~----··-----·- --·- -·'- -~·"'!

  • Stan Smith Record at the Ojai
    By Steve Pratt Fifty years ago this month, Stan Smith came to Ojai as a shy, 18-year-old USC freshman from Pasadena, the reigning national junior champion, and playing on one of tennis’ grandest stages, the final of the Men’s Open Division at the 66th annual Ojai Tennis Tournament. In a probably otherwise forgettable final for Smith, he was beaten by UCLA junior Charlie Pasarell, 6-3, 6-1, on that day in 1965 in just 38 minutes with Pasarell’s passing shots no match for the net-charging Smith. In the doubles final later in the day, the Los Angeles Times reported that Smith and Bob Lutz teamed up to exact some revenge against Pasarell and his UCLA teammate Joaquin Loyo-Mayo, winning the match, 2-6, 9-7, 8-6 in a division that debuted at The Ojai in the year 1900. It will be hard for Smith not to get nostalgic during the playing of the 115th edition of the venerable tournament known as one of the most storied anywhere within tennis circles. Smith is returning to The Ojai in April for the first time since he began his long and storied career all those years ago as the tournament’s honored guest in 2015. Smith will be the featured speaker at the Thursday night barbecue, as well as mingle with Ojai tennis fans at a special fundraising wine event hosted by the Ojai Vineyard Tasting Room on Friday night. A good friend of Weil Academy’s Mark Weil, Smith’s daughter once attended the Weil Academy and he paid a visit to Ojai while she was there a little over a decade ago.

  • Wilmer Lawson Allison Jr W5VV *1904-1977* Wilmer Born in San
    ilmer Lawson Allison Jr W5VV *1904-1977* Wilmer born in San Antonio was an American amateur tennis champion of the 1930's. With all of this, how could our subject find W time for ham radio activities? Allison’s career was somewhat overshadowed by the arrival of Don Budge, but he was both a fine singles player and along with his frequent partner, John Van Ryn, a great doubles player. Right-handed, Allison’s greatest triumph was winning the 1935 U.S. Championship singles, defeating Fred Perry in the semi- finals and Sidney Wood in the finals. He had previously lost to Perry in the fifth set in the 1934 finals. He was ranked U.S. No.1 both years and World No.4 in 1932 and 1935. At Wimbledon, Allison lost the 1930 title to Bill Tilden. As a doubles player with partner John van Ryn, Allison won the 1929 and 1930 Wimbledon and 1935 U.S. doubles championships. Allison’s last major tournament was a 1936 quarter-final loss to Bunny Austin. At the University of Texas at Austin, Allison was the Intercollegiate tennis champion in 1927. In his 1979 autobiography Jack Kramer, who had a fine volley himself, devotes a page to the best tennis strokes he had every seen. He writes: “Forehand Volley – Wilmer Allison of Texas, who won the 1935 Forest Hills, had the best I ever saw as a kid and I’ve never seen anyone since hit one better.” George Lott, who himself won 5 U.S doubles titles as well as 2 at Wimbledon, wrote an article May 1973 issue of Tennis Magazine in which he ranked the great doubles teams and the great players.
