Pete Allen Remembers Clarence Chaffee by Peter Allen, at July 19 Williamstown Dinner Clarence Church Chaffee Was Born in 1902 and Was an All-Around Athlete at Brown
Senior Tennis 2013 – 1 Volume Six • Number Thirteen • Fall • 2013 THE NEW ENGLAND SENIOR TENNIS FOUNDATION BULLETIN Pete Allen Remembers Clarence Chaffee by Peter Allen, at July 19 Williamstown dinner Clarence Church Chaffee was born in 1902 and was an all-around athlete at Brown. In 1938 he came here to coach tennis, squash, and soccer at Williams College and remained for 33 years, until retirement in 1970. I was very privileged that Chafe was my tennis and squash coach here from 1962 to 1966; I graduated several years before he retired. He was a strong factor in my decision to attend Williams. His infectious spirit, athleticism, and emphasis on sportsmanship made him a lifelong role model for me and many others. As fine a tennis player and tennis coach as he was in his 60s, he was most inspiring to me as the squash coach. There were always plenty of already-experienced tennis players in every en- tering class, but very few freshmen had ever played squash at all. Chafe would entice his tennis recruits to try squash in the winter season, inviting anyone independently motivated to sign up for a private half-hour on-court lesson with him... every day if you wanted. He'd stand in the center of the court, swinging his racquet like a magic wand. He'd hit winner after winner without exertion, yelling out which winner he would hit next and why and how. What a hands-on teacher for anyone who was inspired to learn from the master and work hard! Williams played all the Ivies in the 1960s, along with Army and Navy.

MONDAY, JUNE 29, 2015 SPORTS Djokovic eyes Wimbledon healing after Paris misery LONDON: Novak Djokovic insists his heart- breaking French Open final defeat has been consigned to history as he begins his Wimbledon title defence today. The world number one had stayed resolutely out of the spotlight since his Roland Garros upset by Stan Wawrinka ended his latest bid to complete the career Grand Slam. But the Serb says he is fired up to defend his Wimbledon crown just as he was in 2011 when he captured his maiden title in London. “I needed some time off, more mentally rather than physically,” said eight-time major winner Djokovic who faces world number 33 German Philipp Kohlschreiber in a tough Monday opener. “I know it could have been useful to play a couple of official matches on grass, but it’s not the first time I’m coming straight into Wimbledon.” Djokovic’s loss to Wawrinka in Paris was just his third defeat in 44 matches this year. With the Australian Open already under his belt, the shattering loss ended his chances of going on to become just the third man in histo- ry-and first since 1969 — to clinch a calendar Grand Slam. But such Paris disappointments have previ- ously worked in his favor. His 2011 semi-final loss to Roger Federer at Roland Garros ended a 41-match win streak that year. However, just four weeks later, he defeated Rafael Nadal to secure a first Wimbledon title and then went on to his maiden US Open tri- umph. Djokovic is also the most consistent of the top players at the majors-the last time he failed to make at least the quarter-finals of a Grand WIMBLEDON: US player Serena Williams is seen at the practice court at The All Slam was at Roland Garros in 2009.
