Description
1948 St Ambrose Tennis Results
1948 St. Ambrose Tennis Team
Facing one of the toughest tennis schedules in the
history of the school, the St. Ambrose court squad
was forced to end the eason without sighting victory once, although they were able to tie Loras,
2-2. During the 1948 season Father Hratz's tennis
squad lost to Iowa U., Minnesota U., Bradley, Cornell, Western Ill. State, and Loras.
Lack of experience seemed to be the greatest
handicap of the Bee court men, but Father Hratz
expects the 1949 season to have a much brighter
outlook. Although the Bees lost seven matches and
tied only one, they were more successful when it
came to tournament play in the Midlands and Iowa
Conferences. The courtmen tied for first place in
the Midlands Tournament and finished third in the
Iowa Conference meet.
Burke Dailey, former Davenport High tennis star,
led the St. Ambrose singles competitors, as he finished the regular season with five wins in eleven
matches. In tournament competition, Burke pulled
down championship honors in the Midlands singles
affair, but lost in the finals of the Iowa Conference
Match.
In doubles play, Clifford Squire and Malcolm
Griffin were the top men for the Bees. They were
able to reach the finals of the Iowa Conference meet
before losing to Garvey and West of Loras.
