Another Puzzle?

If, but only if, I heard of a desire to have this happen,* I would republish my crossword puzzle which appeared in the 1983 Simon and Schuster Crossword Puzzle Book (Series 131), edited by Margaret Farrar and Eugene Maleska. It is Puzzle 49, entitled "TENNIS ANYONE?. A subline says "Mr M. makes a smashing debut and scores an ace with this fine puzzle." Unfortunately, many of its tennis references, mostly humorous, are to players in the 70's and 80's.

Reproducing this puzzle is not easy for me to do. First, I have to have a friend use Microsoft Excel to make an appropriate diagram (or have her teach me how, at my desk top computer) and then I have to have her transfer it to the blog (or show me how this is done). You cannot copy and paste crosswords.

*Email me: dmermels@duke.poly.edu or post a note on the blog site (I don't know how this is done) or telephone me--and say hello!
