That made the fina) count 5-2 in Italy’s favor and represented a surprisingly strong stand by two Indian players who were virtually unknown to Western tennis fans until they came here. 5 Both are prominent wealthy busi- nessmen and play virtually no competitive tennis in their own country. Yet, with a few breaks such as Misra not straining his innards, they might easily have found ‘hemselves facing the Amer- icans next week. Although he was playing on | nerve alone Misra put up . sur- prising stand against Italy’s 22- year-old ace. Misra’s middle was tightly band- aged. to hold in a hernia which sprang loose in Friday’s doubles. He was unable to employ his booming service with any real ef- fect and was in severe pain throughout. SEC Meeting Runs Calmly ¢ CLEMSON, S. C. #—The South- ern Conference meeting that sup- posedly was going to rival the H- bomb's explosive nature developed into a love feast. Officials of the 17-member circuit headed for home today after a more or less routine session fea- tured by what did not happen rath- er than what happened. Red-hot issues, at least from the standpoint of press and public, never were brought up. Such juicy morsels as bowl games and the much kicked about break up of the conference, favorite topics of the curbstone coaches and the type- writer pounders, did not receive Neither was on the meeting’s agenda and, under conference rules, action on them at this time was not possible. They could crop up at the spring meeting next May 1 at Greensboro, N. C., but frém the brush off they received here, both at the president’s meeting Thursday and the full conference session yesterday, the possibility seemed remote. A However, the spring meeting will find a-full quota of other matters up for decision and discussion. Of prime importance will be the question of financial aid to ath- letics. A nine-man committee of football coaches, athletic directors and faculty chairmen has been given the assignment of studying the problem jand reporting its find- The conference discussed a Duke University proposal aimed at elim- inating the annual race am ng member schools for the services of promising schoolboy athletes. The Duke plan, patterned after the grants-in-aid of the Southeastern Conference, would prohibit an ath- lete from signing to accept aid from one conference school and then switching to a second and re- yeiving similar assistance. CODE cruiting and athletic scholarships still existed, And the rigid South- west Conference limits on grants- | in-aid was mentioned as a “sound” program that. didn’t call for any changes. The biggest difference noticed by most observers was the in- creasing tendency of schools to look for good athletes who also are good students and to hand out their scholarships more carefully, with an eye on academic stand- ings. Some typical comments, pro, con and in between: “I think all colleges either pulled in on scholarships or are | watching grades more than in| recent years.” | “Scholarships still awarded, but | they’re thinking twice now before | | giving them out.” } “Still as many scouts and even | better propositions for prospective | | Varsity material.” “Top talent still comes high Personality of coaches has in creasing effect on kids,” | “No, That's rubbish.

The match was lent a somewhat raffish atmosphere by the presence of a large delegation of local Ital- ians who turned out to cheer their countrymen. They were short on tennis etiquette, but knew where their sympathies lay and nothing the officials could do eve: quieted them completely. They yelled their encourage- ment right through the most heat- ed rallies. First Referee Cliff Sproule and then Pino Bono, non- playing leader of the Italian team, appealed for peace and quiet, but they finally gave up. The match ended on a hilarious note when both Gardini and Misra raced in after the final point and vaulted the net in unison like mountain goats. They then collect- ed themselves and shook hands U.S. Davis Cup Win Seen Over Italy { over the net. Gardini set what was claimed to be a new Australian record when he was footfaulted 16 times for hopping by an official named Edgar Stumbles. The match itself produced only brief flashes of really good tennis and very few rallies worthy of the | services that Gardini broke Misra nine times and was himself brok- en eight times. Gardini won out in the end only because his strange and weak backhand improved under steady pounding as the match progressed. It is difficult to imagine Gardini taking a set from either Trabert or Vic Seixas in next week’s test. His ground strokes are uncertain and he has virtually no attacking game at the net. About all he does have is a considerable fighting heart. IBC Head Is Called On Carpet After Saxton Win Over Perez By JACK HAND NEW YORK (® — The boxing director of the International Box- ing Club was asked to appear at the New York State Athletic Com- mission Monday to discuss 4 ture matchmaking policy after lact night’s one-round knockout win by Johnny Saxton at Madison Square Garden. Harry Markson, IBC official, was asked to come ‘down to the com- mission hy Chairman Bob Christ- enberry, who watched, at ringside when Cuban Raol, Perez was count- ed out in 2:54 of the first round | after taking a right-left combina- tion to the body. » And the state chairman also wants to know who in his own organization approved the Saxton- Perez match. He said after the fight he would seek that informa- tion Monday. Christenberry said he had been assured by Dr. Ira McCown and Dr. Alexander Schiff that Saxton’s blows caused sufficient pain to cause a knockout. The 26-year-old Cuban crumpled unexpectedly and collapsed near the ropes without warning. Saxton had thrown a right to the body and then followed with a left hook. Dr. McCown, who examined Perez in the dressing room, said |the left was a solar plexus punch that caused a “mild abdominal trauma.” The fighter quickly re- covered. f : Saxton, winner of 34 straight pro fights, just can’t seem to make a big hit in his home town. He was involved in, two unsatisfactory fights with Liyio Minelli and Lester Felton last winter, winning both. Perez, a 5-1 underdog, simply collapsed completely before Sax- ton hardly got warmed up in his latest outing. The small gathering of 3,686, Paying $11,264 and the much larg- er network television audience, saw very little action until the sudden ending. Dr. Vincent Nardiello of the commission examined tthe stricken Perez in the ring and said he was “sort of. paralyzed.” Saxton’s camp said they were working on a return bout with Ralph (Tiger) Jones of Yonkers, N. Y., who lost a split decision to Saxton at St. Nicholas Arena Oct. 3. They were talking about Mil- waukee and Dec. 29, but nothing definite. JACK K.
