  • 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.

  • An Obituary for Alan Thornhill, by Bunny Austin, from the Independent, 17 December 1988 Alan Thornhill Will Be Remembered Best F
    An obituary for Alan Thornhill, by Bunny Austin, from The Independent, 17 December 1988 Alan Thornhill will be remembered best for his string of West End plays which have been performed on six continents. The first, The Forgotten Factor, an industrial drama which he wrote in 1940, was one of the most successful and remained remarkably topical. It was translated into 16 languages and subsequently filmed. Thornhill and I first met at Repton School in 1920, where my love of tennis was matched by his love of theatre and literature. He studied Classics under the headmaster, the Rev Geoffrey Fisher (later Archbishop of Canterbury), and went on to read Classics at Oxford, where he also attended a theological seminary. On ordination he became Curate of St Mary’s Church in Peckham, South London. In 1935 he returned to his Oxford college, Hertford, as Fellow and Chaplain. We met again in America in 1938, where Thornhill had been invited by the founder of Moral Re-Armament, Frank Buchman, who first encouraged him to turn his hand to playwriting. During this time his talent emerged. We were rooming together when he announced he had an idea for a play about industrial relations - an issue that was to be crucial to America's war effort. Three days later he had written The Forgotten Factor. ‘The ideas came so fast,’ he recalled later, ‘I could scarcely write quickly enough to get them down.’ It was performed throughout America during the war. Harry S. Truman, then in charge of wartime industrial production, sponsored the national premiere in Washington DC.
