In June of 1934, the “Tiny Buck of the Month Club” was formed to raise the

necessary funds from Stanford alumni and friends to pay the tuition costs for capable, worthy and needy student-ath-letes. As the Club’s name implied, mem-bership dues were one dollar per month and the word “tiny” was added to emphasize the modest amount and to honor head football coach, Claude “Tiny” Thornhill. The Club later shortened its name to the “Stanford Buck Club” and revised its initial membership dues requirement.

Until the mid-1970’s, there were no athletic scholar-ships for women, nor was there any fundraising organiza-tion devoted to this purpose. To accomplish the task of raising scholarship funds for women, the Cardinal Club was formed in 1977-78.

Under the guidance of the Buck and Cardinal Club leadership, a merged Buck/Cardinal Club was formed in 1987 to raise funds for both men’s and women’s athletic scholarships. The new volunteer organization was built on the fine Buck and Cardinal Club traditions that served both organizations well.

In 2007, the Stanford Athletic Department provided full operating budgets to all 35 varsity sports. These bud-gets include all of the components necessary for our pro-grams to compete at the Division I level. Because of this,

none of our varsity sports will be required to fundraise for their basic operating budgets effective fiscal year 2008 (September 1, 2007).

These new budgets will be funded in large part by a more robust Buck/Cardinal Club, enabling our head coaches and their staffs to focus their time and energy on coaching and recruiting instead of fundraising for basic operating budgets. Our donors will receive Buck/Cardinal Club benefits commensurate with their generosity.

Under the new Stanford Athletics annual giving pro-gram, the Buck/Cardinal Club will not only include its great scholarship tradition, but also assist the department’s coaches and staff in providing the resources needed to compete at the highest level of NCAA Division I athletics.

Instead of receiving solicitations from individual sports, donors and friends of Stanford Athletics will now receive a single solicitation from the Buck/Cardinal Club. By giving a gift to the Buck/Cardinal Club, the donor is giving both their favorite sport, and all of Stanford’s varsity sports, the budget resources they need. Donors will also have the opportunity to let us know which sports are their favorites at the time of the donation, and sports will keep in touch with donors who specify interest in that specific program.

For more information on the Buck/Cardinal Club and giving to Stanford Athletics, please call (650) 721-9081 or visit www.gostanford.com/giving.

HISTORY

2 • WWW.GOSTANFORD.COM

1998 NCAA Championship Team

Stanford University’s tennis program has steadily

developed into the premier program in the United States.

Beginning with Phil Neer’s national intercollegiate singles

title in 1921, the next two decades saw Stanford amass

10 collegiate individual championships. In addition, Lin

Murray, John Doeg and Ted Schroeder and John McEnroe

each captured the U.S. National Championships.

Stanford’s men’s and women’s teams have won 33 team

titles in the past 36 years – 17 men’s and 16 women’s.

Either of Stanford’s tennis teams has won more collegiate

titles by itself than all other men’s and

women’s teams combined since 1973.

Stanford Men’s Tennis By The Numbers

Men Dominate Collegiate Tennis with 17 Championships

Stanford’s men claimed NCAA team titles in 1973-74,

’77-78, ’80-81, ’83, ’86, ’88-90, ’92, ’95-98 and 2000

to dominate collegiate tennis in that time period. A

remarkable note is that any player who competed for

Stanford during any four-year period from 1969-2003

has at least one NCAA Championship ring to his credit.

Since the NCAA initiated its team championship playoff in

1977, Stanford has won 15 of the 31 tournaments held

and fi nished second twice. In 28 national championship

appearances, the Cardinal has racked up an unbelievable

93-14 (.869) dual match record.

Stanford now holds 17 national championship titles

(UCLA and USC are in second place with 16). The

Cardinal’s 13 singles championships since 1921 is

second on the all-time list, while its 14 doubles titles

ranks third.

In 1998, Bob Bryan captured the singles

and doubles NCAA titles while guiding

Stanford to the team title.

BEYOND CAMPUSSAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA

Yosemite National Park

Carmel Valley

Northern California Beaches

The Golden Gate Bridge

AT&T Park, home of the San Francisco Giants

From bustling cosmopolitan cities to quiet coastal

retreats, the San Francisco Bay Area is

incomparable. First-class attractions, world-

class athletics, cultural diversity, remarkable

skylines and breathtaking views make this region

one of the world’s most popular destinations.

Stanford’s campus is located less than an hour’s drive from

San Francisco to the north, just minutes from the Silicon

Valley to the south and within easy reach of the breathtaking

coastal cities that line the Pacifi c Ocean to the west.

San Francisco has been named by Conde Nast Traveler magazine as the

No. 1 travel destination in the United State for 15 years in a row.

Surrounded on three sides by the Pacifi c Ocean and San Francisco Bay,

San Francisco is located on a hilly peninsula, occupying just 47 square

miles of land. It is the center of the San Francisco Bay Area—the nation’s

fi fth largest metropolitan area with a population of more than 7.0

million—and host to an estimated 16 million visitors each year.

South of the Stanford campus are the cities of San Jose and Santa Clara,

the anchors to the Silicon Valley. Computer fi rms and software companies

can be found throughout the region, which is considered the leader

among the world’s technology industry.

One of the world’s greatest stretches of coastline is located within a short

drive from Stanford. To the south is the Monterey Peninsula, which

includes the picturesque towns of Monterey, Carmel and Santa Cruz. The

Monterey Bay Aquarium, Cannery Row and 17-Mile Drive along Pebble

Beach are musts for visitors.

Further north and east of Marin County is the home to the Napa Wine

Country and within a few hours drive from the Bay Area is Lake Tahoe,

home to some of the fi nest skiing in the country and the wonders of

Yosemite National Park.

The Bay Area is also home to six major professional sports franchises,

including the San Francisco 49ers, Oakland Raiders, San Francisco

Giants, Oakland Athletics, San Jose Sharks and Golden State Warriors.


CAMPUS LIFE

Campus life at Stanford means celebrating the extraordinary talents among students, faculty,

and organizations while attracting world-class speakers, performers, and scholars from around

the world. These events offer the unique opportunity to live and learn in an inspiring college

environment.

Whether it is a prominent speaker, a cappella concert, an academic colloquium, a nationally

competitive athletic game, or the opening of a new exhibit at the on-campus museum, Stanford is

abuzz with opportunities to discover new passions, engage with a vital community, and have fun.

Stanford’s 6,584 undergraduates and 6,614 graduate students are distinguished by their

initiative, love of learning and commitment to the larger world. Independent thinkers and

relentlessly curious, students at Stanford bring passion and imagination to everything they do.

Stanford students move in many different directions, often simultaneously. Having the ability to

engage in multiple interests and fi nd friends who are not only similarly engaged, but also

exceptionally talented in those areas, is one of the values of Stanford’s diversity. Stanford

recognizes that student organizations enrich the social, cultural and educational experiences of

students and the larger University community. About 600 organized student groups at Stanford

cover a range of interests: academic, international, political, environmental, religious, ethnic,

social, community service and recreational.

What To Watch For In 2008-09

• Home Sweet HomeSophomore Alex Clayton busted into the collegiate tennis scene while picking up several awards in his rookie season. The team’s lone All-American in 2008, he was named the ITA National Rookie of the Year and the Pac-10 Player and Freshman of the Year. Clayton went 30-9 overall and 17-6 in dual matches and dispatched 19 nationally-ranked opponents. He reached the semifinals of both the ITA National Indoor Championship and the NCAA Singles Championship, and also advanced to the quarterfinals of the ITA All-American Championship.

• Talented NewcomersStanford welcomes three newcomers to the roster: Ryan Thacher, Bradley Klahn, and Jamie Hutter. The three lefties make up TennisRecruiting.net’s top-rated recruiting class and should contribute immediately. Klahn has already shown brilliance and advanced to the finals of the ITA Regional Championships this fall, where he fell in three sets to teammate Clayton in an all-Stanford final. Hutter and Thacher battled with injuries in the fall. Thacher, the USTA’s top-ranked juniors player in 2008, is expected to recover in time to begin the spring season. Whitlinger believes Hutter will also be a force when he returns to the Stanford lineup.

• Strong SupportAll but one member of the 2008 squad returns for in 2009, giving head coach John Whitlinger a multitude of options, and also a hard time deciding how to fill out his dual-match lineup. Junior Richard Wire advanced to the quarterfinals of the ITA Regional Championships and Whitlinger has been impressed with his play as of late. Also returning are seniors Blake Muller and Matt Bruch (a two-time Pac-10 singles cham-pion), who are also capable of brilliant play in the top-half of the singles lineup for the Cardinal. Sophomore Greg Hirshman is also available and is a player who can provide clutch wins in dual matches, while juniors Kevin Kaiser and Paul Morrissey and sophomore Ted Kelly are strong doubles players. “Our depth this season will be the key to our success,” says Whitlinger. “The team will be battling each other in practice to make the lineup, and it has created a really positive atmosphere at practice. There are many ways we can set the lineup.”

• Conference OutlookThe Pac-10 is once again looking to shape up as one of the most competi-tive conferences in the country. Whitlinger believes there will be no easy matches in league play this season. “There are only six conference matches this year with the loss of Arizona State, so we need to make sure we bring our game on those days. UCLA and USC are first-class teams, as well as California and Arizona. Oregon and Washington are also very strong, so we can’t afford to not be ready to play. It will be very demanding.”

• Rebuilding a DynastyHead coach John Whitlinger has been diligently working to return the Cardinal to the top of the collegiate tennis world. “I’m very excited about the season,” he said. “I was very pleased with how we performed in the fall. We’re definitely making strides in the right direction. We have a nice mix of youth and experience, along with great talent in both singles and doubles. We’ll also look for Alex and Jeff Zeller as our captains to provide us with great leadership and keep us focused on our goals.”

ROSTER/TEAM INFORMATION


John Whitlinger, a two-time All-American at Stanford, who has established him-self as one of the nation’s top collegiate coaches, is in his fifth season as Head

Coach of the Cardinal after serving 18 seasons as the associate to Dick Gould. Whitlinger took over the Head Coaching duties in 2005 from Gould, who assumed the position of Director of Tennis for the university.

Under the tutelage of the pair over an 18 period (1987-2004), the Cardinal posted a 396-58 (.872) record and claimed nine NCAA team titles.

“I an honored to be the head coach at Stanford,” said Whitlinger. “I hope to maintain the excellence that Coach Gould started over 40 years ago. I have learned so much from him as a player and as his assistant coach. I am forever grateful for all he has done for me. He has been an incredible friend and mentor. We have formed a great team here at Stanford and I’m thrilled that he is still be a part of the program as the Director of Tennis.”

Whitlinger directed the Cardinal to a 14-11 record in 2005, then saw his team show marked improvement with an 18-4 overall record in 2006, advancing to the quarterfinals of the NCAA Championship and going 6-1 to win a share of the Pac-10 title. Whitlinger was honored by his peers as the 2006 Pac-10 Coach of the Year. In 2007, the team struggled through injuries to finish 8-16. Then in 2008, the team advanced second round of the NCAA Tournament after finishing up 13-9 overall and 5-2 in Pac-10 play.

One of the nation’s top teaching professionals, Whitlinger was awarded the inaugural National ITA Assistant Coach of the Year in 1997 and was inducted into the ITA Collegiate Hall of Fame in 1999 and the Fox River Valley (Wisconsin) Tennis Hall of Fame in 1998.

“John has been instrumental in helping Stanford continue its national success,” said Gould. “We are blessed to have a coach of John’s caliber associ-ated with Stanford. He is without question one of the top coaches in the world.” As an athlete, Whitlinger helped lead Stanford to its first two

NCAA Championships in men’s tennis in 1973 and 1974. In1974, he won the NCAA Singles Championship, teamed with Jim Delaney to win

the NCAA Doubles Championship, and helped lead Stanford to the NCAA Team Championship. Whitlinger, a member of Stanford’s Athletic Hall of Fame, earned All-America honors in 1974 and 1975.

After his collegiate career, Whitlinger was an international touring professional for six years and was ranked among the top 50 in the world in singles and top 40 in doubles. He also played for the Indiana Loves of the World Team Tennis League. He has teamed up with 23-year old son J.J., and the duo have been ranked as high as No. 3 in the nation in the National Father-Son Rankings. In 2002 and 2003, they won the prestigious Agawam Hunt Club Tournament in Providence, Rhode Island, and were quarterfinalists at the National Grass Court Championships in Brookline, Massachusetts and at the National Clay Court in Cincinnati, Ohio.

From 1981 to 1986, Whitlinger was a head professional at the Racquet Club at Harper’s Point in Cincinnati, Ohio. He ranked in the top five in men’s singles play in the United States Professional Teaching Association (USPTA) – the national association of teaching professionals.

The Whitlinger family was named the National Tennis Family of the Year in 1986. Whitlinger’s father, Warren, who celebrated his 94th birthday this year, has coached numerous junior tennis players in Wisconsin and currently works with players on the mental aspects of the game. His sister Wendy is the Director of Tennis at Fox Cities Racquet Club in Appleton, Wisconsin. Whitlinger’s sister-in-law, Ruth, manages the club and his brother Kip has coached tennis at the high school level in Menasha, Wisconsin. His nieces, Teri and Tami, both attended Stanford and cur-rently reside in Tampa. Teri captured the 1990 NCAA Doubles Championship, and Tami was ranked among the world’s top-40 players as a professional. Both spent time as teaching professionals following their playing careers.

Whitlinger, a native of Neenah, Wisconsin, came to Stanford in 1972 as one of the top junior players in the country. During his high school career, Whitlinger won an amazing 109 consecutive matches en route to four straight state singles championships (1969-72). He holds 11 National Junior Titles, including the 1971 Interscholastic Championship and the prestigious International Orange Bowl Championship in 1969 and 1970. He was also a member of the U.S. Junior Davis Cup teams from 1970-74.

Whitlinger and his wife of 28 years, Jan, have two children: 25-year old son, J.J., who graduated from Saint Mary’s College in 2005 and is currently teaching pro at the Fremont Hills Country Club as well as a fouth year assistant coach on the Cardinal, and 23-year old daughter, Claire, who recently graduated from George Washington University and is now a graduate student studying sociology at the University of Michigan.

John Whitlinger, who has won nine NCAA titles as a player and assistant coach, was named Pac-10 Coach of the Year in 2006.

COACHING STAFF


Brandon Coupe enters his second year as an assistant coach at Stanford after a recent six-year stint as the Head Professional at the Tiburon Peninsula Club. A

former All-American at San Jose State, Coupe spent 10 years as an ATP Tour Player where he competed against some of the world’s top players and attained a high-singles ranking of No. 673 and a doubles ranking of No. 62.

“I have been thinking of coaching at the college level since my professional career concluded,” said Coupe. “Like a lot of people, I have always had tremendous respect for Stanford players and coaches, both on and off the court. I now look forward to coaching some of the most outstanding student-athletes in the world. I thank Coach Whitlinger and Stanford for the opportunity,” he said.

Coupe joined the Tiburon Peninsula Club in 2001 and became the Head Professional in 2003. He was also a professional coach from 2004 to 2006 and the Tournament Director of the Esurance Tiburon International Tennis Challenger in 2003 until 2004.

From 1994 to 2003, Coupe played on the ATP Tour and participated in 14 Grand Slam events, including the 2002 U.S. Open where he was a quarterfinalist. During his professional career he played with and against some of the world’s greatest players, including Roger Federer, Andy Roddick, James Blake, Andre Agassi, Lleyton Hewitt and Boris Becker. Coupe achieved an individual doubles ranking of 61 in 1999 and teamed with Mark Merklein to rank in the top-20 that year.

In addition to playing on the ATP Tour, Coupe coached a number of top-100 players on the pro tour, including in 2004 when he mentored Justin Gimelstob to the third round at Wimbledon.

Coupe played at San Jose State from 1990 until 1994 under the tutelage of respect-ed coach John Hubbell. As a senior, he earned All-America honors and received the

National Von Nostrum Most Improved Player Award and the Rafael Osuna Senior Player of the Year Award. Coupe was also named All-Conference in the Big West all four years. As a freshman, he played No. 2 singles for San Jose State, losing only four matches during the year and winning the regional Arthur Ashe Sportsmanship Award. Over his next three seasons, Coupe played No. 1 singles and doubles and holds the school record for most victories. He was a three-time NCAA Championship com-petitor and a semifinalist at the 1994 NCAA Indoor Championship.

A native of Granite Bay, Calif., Coupe began playing tennis at the age of 10 and entered a number of junior tournaments, including the Kalamazoo National Tournament. In the U-18 division he was ranked as high as No. 35 in the country.

Coupe currently resides in Mill Valley with Natalie, his wife of seven years, and their five-year-old son Max.

Chairs in Stanford Tennis’ “Rows of Champions” commemorate a player’s participation in the Stanford tennis program. These chairs are located in the central

featured section of the Stanford Tennis Stadium. Proceeds from the subscription of these $5,000 chairs help to defray capital building costs of the Stanford tennis

program. Each chair is “personalized” with up to a five line inscription. These “Rows of Champions” provide almost a museum of Stanford Tennis history. Over 140

program participants honored thus far and are listed by the decade of their graduating class.
