Karl Kamrath has a son Jackie who in the early '60s was one of Coach Allison's favorite and best players. Allison says about Jackie, "the smartest tennis player I've ever coached…. He's a good tactician; he can think, both on and off the court." He has all the shots and the brains.

What was unheard of at the time, Dr. D. A. Penick in 1931, allowed a woman to practice tennis on the UT men’s Varsity tennis courts. Later that women married Karl Kamrath.
