April 27, 1978 Mountain Times Pagel Tennis team much improved by Michael J. Putnam
"Increased depth" is how Coach Charlie Penwill described the improv~ments of this year' s tennis team over last year's. We don't have "bjg guns" but the team from No. 1 to No. 4 singles is very strong, he said. Another noted improvement is the women's team. Last year it seemed weak, but this year the women have really progressed. Currently Columbia is 6-5 in league play and 7-6 overall. Penwill expects some players to qualify for the small school state tournaments. The team compet ing in the state conference also is a good possibility. The Central California Conference tourna ment will be hosted next weekend by Merced College. Penwill said morale bas been good this season with fierce competition. -Players are Crystal Wheel Bouldering: new and, Connie Flavin-LaNier, Lisa Johnson, Sandra Camirand, Johnny Wheeland, Tim Hoffman, Women's Center Paul Scheuble, John Salvarezza rock climbing sport and Tim Flavin. by Sid Moeeley ing.
