Safe s new Tennis Champion Dewey Varn As Well As runner Pearl Evans have to rate with the very Cream of the Tennis crop among military personnel stationed in Europe in the past six  puts the 1968 finalists in some pretty exclusive company with the likes of Bob Bowditch Roger Mccormick and Rawson Lloyd from Usa eur Back in the period 1961-1963 and Safe s Jim pro vines who reigned supreme for the last two years. This reporter has seen at least six Usa eur or Safe finals As Best As memory can recall but the Varn Evans Duel has to Rale As the Best Ever in our estimation. It was a real thriller filled fro the beginning to end with a succession of impassible shots. It s just a shame that More of the players and fans on hand at the Garmisch recreation area courts could not stay for the finale. Many had to leave after rain knocked the finals Back to Friday. But at least the courts were ready Friday. Thanks to shorty Schild s Fine Crew the courts were not Only ready but in Superb condition. More about that later. Evans who had to rate As the underdog surprised  he got such strength nobody knows but he seemed to con serve every ounce for that last instant then uncoiled it when be smashed the Ball Back at his opponent. Varn is a Rangy muscular Blond who stands about 6-foot-2 and probably weighs a solid 190 or200 pounds. No doubt about his strength. And you just have to look Carl Evans left and Dewey Varn. Consultation after Ball in Evans Eye at him to Tell he s really in Superb shape. Evans is More like 6-Footand a Little on the slender Side. The handsome Brown haired 23 year old played his Tennis at North Carolina before joining the air Force. The Lakenheath. England medic he s an airman first has a Fine All around game. But against Varn he really met the Power Challenge and then some Varn a 25-year-old 1st lieutenant with the 7235th to Supply Squadron at Camp Darby in Livorno. Really put his Italy base on the map. The munitions accountable Sipply officer showed himself real gentleman too. Always polite and considerate of every re quest Dewey went out of his Way to be accommodating to an alderwoman Spectator who repeatedly interrupted our Post championship match interview and pressed him to look up a very dear Friend Infanta Monica about 100 Miles from Vandenberg air Force base calif., where the air Force worldwide tournament will be held. So our hats off especially to Varn and Evans a couple of real Fine Tennis players and excellent sportsmen too. They should do Well in the worldwide. In general this year s crop of Safe contestants were All real sportsmen on and off the court they just played the Good Tennis no theatrics sometimes commonplace for Pirna Donnas of the court. The other Vandenberg bound Safe players Germany s Bill Medeiros and Stuart Skadden and Senio titlist Paul Haitsen will represent the command Well we re sure. Characters of the courts while we re passing out bouquets we might As Well include couple of real dedicated characters the men behind the fabulous condition of the Garmisch Tennis courts. One s a really unforgettable character Type Francesco Pierroz Atid his working mate is Gustl Walcher. They take real Pride in seeing that things Are looking ship shape. Francesco is particularly noteworthy. Anyone who has Ever played Tennis at Garmisch in the past 10 years or so can hardly have missed him. Rain or Shine and Miles the temperatures drop near the freezing Mark he s out there running around in shorts a sleeveless undershirt Sash and Beret. He s almost comical because of the Bushy crop of Black a bit of Grey showing too but that understandable because he must be in his 60s hair unmistakable wait twinkling eyes and Lively sense of humor. Francesco has never been anything More than a common labourer yet he s fluent in ital Ian his native language Spanish and German and hell throw a bit of English and French at you too. Al St Topkok he s really diligent twice he was out on the courts after Midnight punching holes in the courts to allow the ram water to Drain. When it s raining he s downright miserable because he likes nothing better than to have his courts in top shape. He smilingly tells you the court Are his Only  thinks he s really got if great working for the rotund shorty at the sports Center. He spent 13 years working in a local Ravel Quarry. He looks upon his Job with Gra As a permanent  last but not least another Fine tourney run by Gra s invaluable sports director mrs. Luge Woerndle and her no. 1 assistant Henry Zap.
