Grabbing the ball at the foul circle, Bevo cut loose with his specialty, a whirling jump shot, and Rio Grande had a victory over the con- State and the national AAU cham- pion Peoria Caterpillars. Bevo made 32 points in all, out- scoring the talented Dickie Hem- ric of Wake Forest, who got 24 in a losing cause. Little Wayne Wise- man shared the starring role with Francis, twice stealing the ball for baskets in the final 29 seconds. North Carolina State, No. 9 in the Associated Press poll, came from behind to whip the Peoria AAU team 63-60, making it two defeats in two nights for the Cater- pillars against college opposition. Oklahoma A&M, No. 5 in the poll, also had a tough game be- fore turning back Southern Cali- fornia 52-49, while eighty-ranked Minnesota set a school record with 91,73 beating of Marquette.

We, on the other hand, have nev- er paid much attention to the team game, officially or otherwise, and have always depended primarily on our singles stars to try to win the Davis Cup. Only once since the matches originated in 1900 have we won the trophy by the mar- gin of a doubles victory, and that was back in 1913. The Australians have beaten us in four Challenge |Rounds because they had the bet- ter doubles combination. It’s all right, in other words, to neglect the doubles if you have a Jack Kramer and a Ted Schroeder going for you, or a Schroeder and a Pancho Gonzales in the singles, as we had the last time we de- things get tough in a hurry when faced with the necessity of win- ning three out of four singles matches.
