Miami Girl Doris Hart Poised For National Tennis Honors
Miamian Doris Hart, aged 16, is set for a grueling schedule aiming at the 1942 national women's tennis championships. She will team with Pauline Betz for doubles, debut in the southern championships at Atlanta June 29, and compete through Indianapolis, Seabright, East Hampton, Rye, Essex, and Longwood before the Philadelphia girls’ nationals and Forest Hills events. Hart, who beat Betz in last year’s Southern final and nearly toppled her in the nationals, is described by coach Slim Harbert as a much-improved tactician with a stronger all around game and tougher competitive edge.
