Proposal Handed Council City Envisioned As Net Capital By VAUGHN HEXDRIE Avalanche-Journal Staff Visions of Lubbock becoming "the tennis center of the Southwest" were conjured up today by the Lubbock Tennis Association. Bill Crenshaw presented an association request that the City Council direct architects to make provisions for up to four tennis courts inside the planned exhibition hall within the Memorial Civic Center complex. "This would tie in with Park Department plans for 12 outdoor tennis courts a block away," Crenshaw said, "and would put Lubbock on the map as the terv nis center of the Southwest." The request came during a routine meeting in which city councilmen whizzed through most of a 79-item agenda before recessing for lunch with directors of the Cnamber of Commerce-Board of City Development.
