The Umpire's View NORMAN L. DABBS
There is both more and less in lawn tennis umpiring than one might think. Unlike soccer, a tennis umpire has no right to over-rule the linesmen, even if he discovers that the latter were asleep. On the other hand, in the early stages of many tournaments, the umpire has to act as linesman as well, and in this way he can often make or ruin the tournament.
Norman Dabbs has seen all the big players in important matches, and will illustrate his talk by examples that many people may remember when he calls attention to them.
