Friday, August 14- The Team Tennis Finals

Even though it was a Senior event, today's Team Game was something even the Inters got to watch: The Senior Tennis Finals. This was truly a clash of the Titans, because it pitted the Captain of the White Team, Ronnie Durchlag, against the Captain of the Green Team, Bobbie Rosenheim. This was something that rarely happened. So, this match was looked on with great anticipation. Even from my lowly Inter standpoint, I could see that Ronnie Durschlag was an amazing athlete. Strong and muscular, she clearly was good at everything. And all the younger campers looked at her with nothing short of awe. We literally stopped talking when she walked by. Bobbie Rosenheim, on the other hand, seemed to me to be more glamorous and graceful, so it was going to be interesting to see how this match would turn out. My money was on Ronnie. Here's the entry from the '59 Lenorlog, written by Judy Lager and Ellen Karlitz
"Linesmen ready? Players ready? Begin! This was the familiar call which started off the 1959 Annual Tennis Finals.
the finalists were Ronnie Durchlag of the White Team, and Bobbie Rosenheim of the Green
Team.
After an exciting two sets, Bobbie emerged victor. The scores of the matches were 6-0 and 6-1.
It was agreed that both players showed great skill in this tournament."

So, beauty and grace triumphed. And it wasn't even close.
