By CAROLINE KAPLAN "A game that requires concentration and control, yet tremendous quickness", is how Coach Peter Scott defines tennis. Scott has been coaching the mens tenni team for seven years now at Flagler College. With the season just beginning the Flagler Saints were the victors of their first match. The tennis team puts in many hours of hard practice five days a week and sometimes weekends. Throughout the seven years Scott has been coaching the team they have received many aw·ards and titles. Flagler has won four national champion­ ships. There are three championships, a singles, a doubles, and a team. In the four years that Flagler has belonged to the association they have won four· championships, one in each division. In the St. Augustine Pros the men have won a ~ingles, a doubles, and two singles runner-ups. The team was team runner-up in State Championships in .. 1979. The team has won approximately fifteen titles around state in regular tournaments. Scott believes that there are three young men who will give it a chance in the professional circuit,. they are, John Moneypenny, Mike Puc and Martin Guntrip. Asked if the season would be a successful one Scott replied "This year is the best balanced team since the National Championship team. The top seven players are reasonably close, and if we don't have barring interest, or sickness, we should have a very successful season, and possibly have a.chance at the top three this year." The men's team has many goals they would like to achieve this year, two of them are to beat Florida State, and to finish in the top five in the Alabama Crimson Tide Classic. The best piece of good advice Scott could offer to a tennis player before a match is to "Prevent himself from becoming tentative. Sometimes you want to win so bad that your fear of losing prevents you from winning and really becomes an obstacle. The best piece of good advice is to ask yourself, 'What is the worse possible thing that can happen? I can lose. What is the best possible thing that can happen? I can win." • Scott added "I would like everyone to feel a sense _ of interest in these people and come out and watch them, and really get involved in a good sense. Enjoy the fact they have a good tennis - ·m." --- _, -- -. I Page fhe Gargoyle ;'States" A Possibility

To win you've got to core, and to score you've got to hoot . which is why three weeks into the pr­ ing soccer season the Saint find themselves with a 1-2 record. "We're just not putting the ball in the back of the net," said Dan Breen. "\Y/e didn't capitalize when we had to," added Bil­ ly Hannon, one of Breen's teammates. But a 1-2 record (as of last week) could easily have been 2-1 or even 3-0. "The two losses were against the number one and number two rated teams in the league," said Captain Steve Ladwig. Both games, especially the last a 2-1 loss in Jack onville, could have gone either way.
