Corn lost to Porter in the semi-final round 6-4, 7-6 and later dropper! a three set. decision to Princeton’s Tony Brock in the consolation. 6-1, 4-6, 6-4, thus taking fourth place.Seitz had previously beaten Porter, and was top seed in the tourney, but he said before the weekend that he figured competition to he pretty even. “The people in the tournament could be the ones to beat to get out of the dint rid/’ he said.Seitz, who has been playing tenni'since the age of seven and compel.itiv ely since age 10, was unbeaten, heading into the finals at Sycamore with a 15-0 record In addition to the experience .Seitz has, .his biggest asset is the use of his head. According to his coach, Art Weil, “He is the best player I’ve had in 13 years of coaching Jimmy is very easy to coach He listens and retains a I. most anything you tell him 1 don’t teach him too much about the sport, I just try to prepare him mentally.”INavy Aviation Mainte-n»nlt; e Admimst rationmanA 1 rm a 11 Apprent iceLeonard .1 Lucas, son of Mr and Mr- Leonard Lucosof HH5Ddsev Ave, Pmc Hill, h as reported for duty with Attack Squadron 65 homehased 111 Oceana.

After falling to Porter in the semis, Corn drew a player he very much wanted to play, John Bridgeiand of Indian Hill.SEITZ’S ROAD TO the Sycamore finals was never easy He was a first round winner over Scott Kafker ofCountry Day, 6-2, 6-2, but. then dropped the first set of a match to St. Xavier’s John Mirltsena 7-5 He fell behind 2-0 in the second set, hut roared hack to take that set 7-5 and the tie breaker 6-0. The way Mirliaena played Friday night he lt;ould have beaten Jimmy Connors,” -aid Seitz's coat h. W ell, “He ran seven game' and just played fantastic ball.”Walnut Hills’ Gary Samuels was Seitz opponent in the semi-final, and again Seitz lost the first set, 6-3, hut came hack to take the last two, 6-0-6*2.Oak Hills* triumphed easily in the first round over Hamilton Taft's Tom Wilks, 6-1. 6-2 and topped Foreat Park’s“WHEN 1 GOT1 TO the semis, I fell 1 was on the right track,” said Corn. “I played so poorly against Porter ... I knew 1 couldn’t do any worse against Bridgeiand. When I was first really getting into tennis, I wanted to play Bridge-land, but he wouldn’t play me I was psyched up for the match, and I was, loose and my mind was clear.”Corn's assessment of the Best in the West sounds like propaganda, but inasmuch as Oak Hills is defending champ, his prediction may not be far off. “I think we will win it all. Our doubles team (consisting of Todd Detnch and Mark Weber I should win, and I think I can beat Seitz In our set it will be whoever gels hot early. Whoever gets the early lead will win, because in one set, you can’t make mistakes.' observed Corn.Corn’s rise to one of the top spots has come due to a bit of luck, and the head pro at the Queen. City Racquet Club. Steve Contardi. “I played tennis at Delhi in my eighth grade year, but I received free lessons at the dub, and now I play out there and do small jobs and odds and ends ”The Corn-Seitz match could have some similarities as both subscribe to the same theory on tennis. “The game is 96 percent mental and about 10 percent talent,” said CornSeitz echos this, commenting, “Keeping your cool is one of the major points. You’ve got to have the right attitude.” The other two number one singles players in the tourney are La Salle’s respected Doug Nunn and Elder’s top man, Mike Dulle The tournament will also have a round robin of number two and three singles players as well as number one and two double' teams.Action gets underway Saturday, 1 p.m. at Western Hills.
