PAT ON THE BACK

JOSÉ AGUERO
The 1955 collegiate tennis champion, José (Pepe) Aguero, 22, makes his home in Rio de Janeiro (he plays on Brazil's Davis Cup team) and attends college at Tulane. Pepe, who was taught tennis by his father (now a pro in Rio), beat the University of Washington's Bill Quillian for the NCAA title. Too small (5 feet 7 inches, 135 pounds) for a power game, he retrieves strongly, forces opponents into errors.

JOE CAMPBELL

Now a sophomore at Purdue, he has not lost a match in a year, currently holds the Indiana Amateur Junior and Public Links titles.
