June 17, 1999Anna McCune Harper, a California native who replaced Helen Wills Moody in 1930 as the top-ranked U.S. women's tennis player, has died. She was 99.
Mrs. Harper, a member of the Cal Athletic Hall of Fame, died Monday at the Rheem Valley Convalescent Center in Moraga, 10 years to the day after her husband, Lawrence, passed away.
Mrs. Harper learned the sport with her sister, Lucy, as a youngster in Pacific Grove. She entered the University of California-Berkeley in 1920.
''Lucy and I were persuaded to enter the California State Championships,'' she told the San Francisco Examiner in 1981. ''We really decided to enter them because we thought it would be cheaper to see all the matches as participants rather than pay for spectators' tickets.
''We won the ladies' doubles title, and both of us got quite a way into the singles. Life changed for us then.''
Mrs. Harper, born in Santa Barbara on April 23, 1900, graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Berkeley in 1924 with a degree in Spanish and began to make tennis headlines. In 1928, she began traveling on what passed for the professional circuit at the time.
''You didn't get jet lag,'' she said. ''You went on the train, from Oakland to Chicago, where you would either play or change trains for New York or Boston or wherever the first tournament would be.
''It would usually take about six days to cross the country, and then you would have to find a place to stay. By that time you were all out of commission and had to take at least a week to practice and recover.''
Mrs. Harper won the mixed doubles at Wimbledon in 1931.
She was called home in 1932 because of an illness in the family, then decided to give up tennis for other tasks -- including rearing three children.
She always followed the game and underwent arthroscopic knee surgery at the age of 81 so she could continue to play. A bad reaction to the anesthetic ended her playing days and apparently began a slow decline in her health.
Survivors include her daughter, Virginia Harper Harrison of Orinda; sons Lawrence Harper of Davis and Robert G. Harper of Houston; a sister, Lucy Yates of Lafayette; a brother, Francis McCune of Sarasota, Fla.; and six grandchildren.
