Tennis Winners Get Fitting
Seven of the eight winners in The Herald's fifth annual White Christmas Tennis Tournament gather on the Forest Hills courts in Pacific Grove for award of their victory jackets - and that poses a problem for Leo Kohler (second from right), founder of the tourney, and Herald managing editor Ted Durein, who together made the presentations. Their hands are full of spare blazers as they try to hand the right size to each youngster. The victors (from left) are Bill Stahl Jr., Cary Kohler, Jim Russo, Debbie Anthony, John Clancy, Wendy Clark, and Derek Morris.

Bill Stahl Wins Open Singles Title
Upset expert Roland Lass finally fell a cropper in the finals of the 1962 Monterey Peninsula Herald White Christmas Tennis Tournament. The unheralded newcomer from Cheney, Wash., lost to young Billy Stahl of Monterey 6-3, 6-2 in the finals of the Open Boys singles division Saturday afternoon at Pacific Groves Forest Hill courts. Lass, a sophomore at Monterey High, had advanced to the finals with a series of upsets. Stahl, meanwhile came back strong after nearly losing his first round match to young John Clancy. The featured girls final was a rousing two hour battle between Margery Bobbs of Carmel and Debbie Anthony of Pacific Grove for the 14-year-old division crown. Miss Anthony, who won the title last year, pulled out a thrilling 4-6, 6-4, 6-4 victory. The award presentations were held yesterday at Forest Hill as players collected 14 tennis jackets and 21 racket covers. After the ceremonies conduced by Managing Editor Ted Durein of the Herald, Barry Baskin and Capt. Ron Lowell defeated Jack Frost and Tony Russo 8-6 in an exhibition doubles match. |

Tournament of Team Champions Tennis
Pacific Grove - 1962 Carmel Tips Pacific Grove Tennis Team |
Editorial Comment: This photo is posed and is fake but not quite as fake as you think; It is a different kind of fake. Let me explain:
There were two parts to the White Christmas Tournament in Pacific Grove every year. 1) One was the "Steady Play" tournament where people had to keep the ball in play as long as possible. You rotated partners and the winners were selected by which individual had the most rallies keeping the ball in play. That is what we are doing in this picture. The caption and story does not make that distinction. We are just trying to keep the ball in play. |
White Christmas Tennis
Tournament, 1963 Young Champ Derek Morris, both feet off the ground, reaches high to keep the ball in play during tourney playoffs. Last year he took first place in the boys' 10-year-old division. ------------------------------------------ 2) Second part of the tournament - the main part - were regular singles matches by gender and age groups. This is what the tournament was all about. The "steady play" was just really sort of an exercise contest a few days before the tournament, though winners were announced; I tied for first place in the steady play with Alan Weiss, who I later beat in the singles finals of the tournament. (Over the years Alan developed into a very strong player and was #1 player on our Monterey High tennis team and later played in the top six on the varsity tennis team at UC Berkeley). Here, "Steady Play" was more of a pre-tournament warm up and was unrelated to the actual tournament. It was was actually fun and a good idea for us kids just to try to keep the ball in play, and was probably good for kids who had never been in any sort of athletic competition before. But even for a "steady play" rally exercise / competition, the photo still looks embarassingly fake. Which it was! To its credit, the caption does refer to "keeping the ball in play" but that is as far as it goes without explaining the "steady play" continuous rally aspect of what we were doing. But it is not even a photo of the actual steady play, which was much less "dramatic." To make a short story long and boring: what happened is that the newspaper photographer walked over to me with the tournament director, Leo Kohler, a legendary local tennis promoter and tennis innovator in the Monterey Peninsula. They both asked me to stop and briefly pose for an "action shot." I was in the middle of a real "steady play" round with one of my rotating partners. We stopped and the photographer asked me to pose reaching to hit a ball above my head, while Leo tossed the ball overhead. Then she asked me to jump up while hitting the ball for another shot. It felt fake when I did it, and I can't believe I got talked into this photo, but hey I was 11 years old. To be clear, The Herald was a great newspaper during this era; this was a golden age of local newspapers and of the Herald in particular. They they did a phenomenal job covering local youth sports as well as local news and features. But this story got messed up in the translation somehow or missed by an editor. |
